Here’s how to make your Cheese & Chive Pancakes perfectly:

1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to blend.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until fully combined.
3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; a few lumps are acceptable.
4. Add Cheese and Chives: Fold in the shredded cheese and chopped chives into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
5. Heat the Pan: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter and let it melt, coating the surface.
6. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
9. Serve Warm: Serve the pancakes immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
