Tiramisu Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients
- 120g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
- 15g (2 tbsp) granulated sugar
- 10g (2 tsp) baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 240ml (1 cup) milk
- 1 large egg
- 28g (2 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
- 30ml (2 tbsp) freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee
- 240ml (1 cup) heavy cream
- 113g (1/2 cup) mascarpone cheese
- 30g (1/4 cup) powdered sugar
- 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pancake Batter
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and espresso. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are acceptable.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour approximately 60ml (1/4 cup) of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until golden brown. Keep the pancakes warm while preparing the mascarpone whip.
Step 3: Prepare the Mascarpone Whip
In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the mixture until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Be cautious not to overwhip, as the mixture can turn grainy.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve
Stack the pancakes on a serving plate. Generously spread the mascarpone whip between layers and on top of the stack. Dust the top with cocoa powder to mimic the classic tiramisu finish. Serve immediately and enjoy each bite with a touch of morning elegance.
