### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Dry Ingredients:** In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. If you’re using any dried herbs, you can add them to the dry ingredients at this stage.
2. **Prepare the Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. Stir in the olive oil (or melted butter) and any fresh herbs you’re using.
3. **Combine the Ingredients:** Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter should be a little lumpy. If you’re adding cheese and vegetables, fold them into the batter.
4. **Cook the Pancakes:** Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter. Once the pan is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, until small bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
5. **Serve and Enjoy:** Serve your savory pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, such as a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or a drizzle of hot sauce for some extra flavor.
### Customization Ideas:
– **Vegetarian Version:** Load up your pancakes with sautéed spinach, roasted tomatoes, or mushrooms for a nutrient-packed, plant-based meal.
– **Protein Boost:** Add cooked bacon, ham, or even grilled chicken to your batter for a more filling option.
– **Dairy-Free Version:** Simply omit the cheese or use dairy-free cheese alternatives and swap the milk for a plant-based milk (like almond or oat milk).
