Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Pancake Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk these ingredients together until well blended.

Next, gradually add half a cup of flour and mix until the batter is smooth. Then, pour in the milk and the remaining flour, mixing continuously to avoid lumps.

Finally, carefully add the boiling water and vegetable oil, stirring until everything is combined into a smooth batter. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.

Step 2

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it if necessary. Pour a ladle of batter into the center of the pan and swirl it to form a round pancake.

Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface. Then, flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat this process until all batter is used.

Step 3

Make the Filling

In another bowl, combine mascarpone cheese (or cottage cheese), pistachio paste, cream (or sour cream), vanilla extract, and sugar.

Use a mixer to beat the mixture until it's smooth and creamy. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste preference.

Step 4

Assemble the Pancakes

Take one pancake and spread a generous layer of the pistachio cream in the center, roll it into a rectangular shape.

Optionally, spread some cream on the edges and dip them into chopped pistachios for an extra crunch and beautiful presentation.

Repeat with the remaining pancakes and serve them on a platter, garnished with more chopped pistachios on top.

Enjoy your delicious pistachio cream pancakes!

Servings

Imagine a cozy weekend morning with golden stacks of pancakes topped with a dollop of rich cream. You could add a drizzle of warm maple syrup 🍁 or fresh seasonal berries 🍓 for a burst of flavor! Whether you serve these for an intimate breakfast or a festive brunch with friends and family, they’re bound to steal the show. Don't forget to garnish with chopped pistachios for that extra layer of crunch and color! 🌈 Serve them alongside smoothies or a steaming cup of coffee ☕ to elevate your morning ritual.

Equipment

Non-Stick Skillet or Griddle

This is crucial for cooking your pancakes to perfection. A good non-stick surface helps to achieve a golden brown color without sticking. Preheat it well before pouring the batter!

Variations

Gluten-Free and Vegan Variations

Want to cater to gluten-free friends? Simply replace the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. For a fantastic vegan option, swap eggs with flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon of flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water is equal to one egg) and use plant-based milk instead of regular milk. Your pancakes will still be fluffy and unbelievably delicious! 🌱✨

Faq

  • Can I use any type of flour?

    Yes! All-purpose flour is commonly used, but you can experiment with whole wheat or gluten-free flour for different textures.

  • Why do my pancakes come out flat?

    This might be due to overmixing the batter. Mix until just combined for fluffy pancakes, and make sure your leavening agents are fresh!

  • How can I make my pancakes fluffier?

    Add a little more baking powder to give them extra lift! Also, let the batter rest for about 10 minutes before cooking, allowing the gluten to relax.

  • Can I prepare the pancake batter in advance?

    Absolutely! Just keep the batter in the fridge for up to a day. Remember to stir it gently again before cooking, as it may thicken.

  • What’s the best way to stack pancakes for serving?

    Layer them with a bit of butter or cream between each pancake to prevent them from sticking together and keep them warm.

  • How can I customize the flavors?

    Feel free to add fruits, chocolate chips, or nuts to the batter before cooking! Spice it up with cinnamon or vanilla for a flavor boost.
