Ingredients
Fruit Pancake Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- ¼ cups sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- a handful of fruit (frozen berrie, fresh berries, or chopped mixed fruit - frozen berries are pictured, but other fruits like chopped strawberries, peaches, bananas, would also work well
- a handful of fresh fruit - to garnish the pancakes
Cream Sauce Ingredients
- 1 cup cream cheese
- ½ cup greek yogurt
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice - optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs until small bubbles appear. Add the melted butter and whisk again.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones. With a spatula, stir in the flour so that there are no streaks. Do not stir the dough for too long, so the pancakes will be more lush. Let the dough stand for 5-7 minutes.
- Lightly grease the pan with oil and heat well over medium heat. Put about ¼ cup of the batter in a frying pan, and place a few berries or pieces of fruit on top of the pancake batter. Press the fruit in lightly with your finger, and cook on one side until the first bubbles appear.
- Carefully turn the pancake over and continue cooking for a few more minutes until just lightly golden brown. Repeat with the rest of the batter, sometimes greasing the pan with oil between sets.
- For the cream sauce, mix the cream cheese, yogurt, and powdered sugar. You can also add a tablespoon of lemon juice for a lovely tart taste.
- Serve the pancakes with fresh fruit and cream sauce, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
