Chef's Essential Tips

Essential Ingredients Selection

Creating Your Masterpiece

Experimenting with Flavors:
Feel free to incorporate spices or additional mix-ins into the batter, like cinnamon or cocoa powder, to customize the flavor profile.
Reheating Tips:
Reheat pancakes in a toaster or oven to retain crispiness. Burgers can be reheated in a skillet to keep them juicy.
Storing Leftovers:
If you have leftovers, store pancakes and burger patties separately in airtight containers. This preserves texture when reheating.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair the pancakes with sides like hash browns or a fresh salad to make it a complete meal. Presentation matters, so stack them high for visual appeal.
Finishing Touches:
Add toppings immediately after cooking the patties to let the cheese melt perfectly. This enhances the overall flavor and texture of the dish.
Layering Stacks:
Stack pancakes and burgers in an alternating fashion, ensuring each layer is balanced. This creates a visually appealing and deliciously proportioned dish.
Forming Smash Burgers:
Shape the beef into loose balls before smashing them to keep the texture tender. Make sure to season just before cooking for maximum flavor absorption.
Cooking Pancakes:
Use a moderate heat to avoid burning; wait for bubbles to form on the surface as an indicator for flipping. Keeping pancakes warm in the oven maintains their fluffiness.
Mixing the Batter:
Combine dry ingredients first to ensure even distribution before adding wet ingredients. This prevents clumping and promotes an airy pancake texture.

Ingredients

For the Pancake Batter:
01
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted for lightness
02
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, to enhance sweetness
03
1 tablespoon baking powder, for fluffy texture
04
1/2 teaspoon salt, to balance flavors
05
1 cup milk, for creaminess
06
1 large egg, binds ingredients and adds richness
07
2 tablespoons melted butter, for moisture and flavor
For the Smash Burgers:
08
1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend), for juicy patties
09
1 teaspoon garlic powder, for savory depth
10
1 teaspoon black pepper, adds mild spice
11
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded, for melty goodness
12
4 slices crispy bacon, crumbled for crunch
13
1/4 cup dill pickles, chopped, for tangy flavor

Instructions

01
Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
02
Step 2: In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter together until well-blended. Incorporate this wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to avoid overmixing.

05
Step 5: Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, form small patties from the ground beef, seasoning them with garlic powder and black pepper. Smash them down with a spatula for a crispy exterior.
06
Step 6: Once the pancakes are golden brown, flip them and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Keep warm in a low oven while you cook the burgers.
07
Step 7: Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, adding cheddar cheese on top during the last minute to melt.
08
Step 8: Stack a pancake, followed by a burger patty, and top with crumbled bacon and chopped pickles.
09
Step 9: Repeat the layering process for the remaining ingredients, creating enticing stacks.
