Keep the cooked pancakes warm on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet in a 200-degree oven while making the rest.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons sugar

  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

  • 1 ½ cups low-fat buttermilk, room temperature

  • 2 tablespoons safflower oil, plus more for skillet

  • 1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar (2 ½ ounces)

  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced (½ cup), plus more for serving

  • Crisp-cooked bacon and Greek yogurt, for serving

Directions

  1. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Add eggs, buttermilk, and oil; whisk until just moistened. (Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.) Fold in cheese and scallions.

  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium. Drizzle skillet with oil; rub with a paper towel to evenly coat. Cooking in batches, ladle 1/4 cup batter per pancake into skillet, spreading in an even circle. Cook until edges begin to set and undersides are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip; cook until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes more. Top with more scallions, bacon, yogurt, and pepper; serve.
