Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1 cup popcorn, divided
Instructions:
Begin by combining the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk until the ingredients are well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, butter and egg. Beat with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is just combined.
Pour half of the batter into a large bowl. Add half of the popcorn, stirring until the popcorn is evenly distributed. Pour the remaining batter over the popcorn and stir until the popcorn is evenly distributed.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Spray the skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Pour ¼ cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to become golden brown. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Continue until all of the batter is gone.
Serve the pancakes with butter, syrup, and more popcorn, if desired. Enjoy!
