Stuffed Pancake Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 eggs separated
- 2 cups flour*
- 1.5 cups milk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- Peanut butter or other spread to stuff
- Strawberries and whipped cream to decorate
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add the flour and sugar. Make a well in the centre and add the egg yolks and milk.
- Mix till just combined.**
- Whip the egg whites to soft peaks, and fold into the batter mixture.
- Heat a non-stick pan*** to medium heat, and place 1/6 of the mixture into the pan (about 4tbsp)
- Cook till it starts to bubble slightly, then remove from pan.
- Cook another 1/6 of the mixture to the same stage, then add 1-2 tbsp of stuffing.
- Cover with the first pancake (wet side down), and flip to ensure that wet batter melds and creates a seal.
- Repeat another 2 times.
- Spread a thin layer of stuffing in-between layers to ensure that the pancakes sticks together as a cake. Alternatively, you can also just serve them as a stack.
- Decorate with heart-shaped strawberries and whipped cream!
Notes
**It's okay if there are lumps - they tend to sort themselves out. Over mixing will give you a tough pancake, so don't do it!
***If your pan isn't non-stick, just add a little butter
