Serves 4
Ingredients
Pancakes:
- 2 cups plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 tbs sugar
Filling:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries – sliced
- 250g tub of mascarpone cheese
- ½ cup thicken cream
- 1/3 cup caster sugar
Method
- Firstly mix the mascarpone cheese with the cream and sugar with an electric beater until well combined. Put the mixture aside.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and add the sugar. Make a well in the centre. Stir in the buttermilk and eggs until just combined.
- Lightly grease a non-stick pan with a bit of butter or oil and pour tablespoonful of batter on to the pan. Turn pancakes over when bubbles appear on the top side of the pancake. Cook for another minute or so, until the pancakes are lightly golden on both sides. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Make each pancake stack with 3 pancakes. Drop a dollop of the mascarpone mixture with slices of fresh strawberries on top of each pancake.
- To serve: drizzle with honey or maple syrup.
