Here’s a complete, hearty breakfast recipe for Pancakes, Scrambled Eggs, and Steak — a classic “steak and eggs” brunch with fluffy pancakes on the side.
🥞 Pancakes (Fluffy & Soft)
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for the pan)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined (batter may be slightly lumpy).
- Heat a lightly buttered skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Pour ¼ cup batter for each pancake. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until bubbles form and edges set.
🍳 Scrambled Eggs (Creamy & Soft)
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk or cream
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp butter
👩🍳 Instructions
- Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour in eggs and let sit 20–30 seconds.
- Gently stir with a spatula, forming soft curds.
- Remove from heat when slightly undercooked (eggs continue to cook off heat).
🥩 Steak (Pan-Seared)
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 1 lb (450g) steak (ribeye, sirloin, or your choice)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1–2 tsp oil
- 1 tbsp butter (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Let steak come to room temperature. Pat dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear steak 3–5 minutes per side (depending on thickness and preferred doneness).
- Optional: In last 1–2 minutes, add butter and garlic, spooning melted butter over steak.
- Rest steak 5 minutes before slicing.
🍽 Serving
- Serve sliced steak alongside scrambled eggs and a stack of pancakes.
- Optional sides: maple syrup for pancakes, sautéed mushrooms, or breakfast potatoes.
🔥 Tips
- Steak Doneness: Use a meat thermometer — 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
- Make Pancakes Ahead: Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while cooking steak and eggs.
- Extra Flavor: Add herbs (thyme or parsley) to eggs or steak butter.
If you want, I can give you a one-skillet version where you cook steak, eggs, and even pancakes in one pan to save time and cleanup.
