Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
How to Make Savory Pancakes with Creamy Mushroom Sauce
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Once melted, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes until golden brown. Keep pancakes warm while you prepare the sauce.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are browned and tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
- Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the mushrooms, stirring to combine. Add the chopped thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- To serve, stack the pancakes on plates and generously spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional thyme if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure not to overmix the batter; it should be lumpy for fluffy pancakes.
- Keep your skillet at a medium temperature to avoid burning the pancakes.
- If the sauce is too thick, whisk in a little more cream or milk until you reach your desired consistency.
Easy Variations
- Swap out mushrooms for spinach or other sautéed vegetables for a different flavor profile.
- Add grated cheese to the pancake batter for a cheesy twist.
- Use a different herb, such as rosemary or basil, for a unique taste.
What to Serve With It
- A side of crispy bacon or sausage for a heartier meal.
- A fresh green salad for a light and refreshing contrast.
- A fruit compote or fresh berries to balance the savory flavors.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover pancakes and mushroom sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat pancakes in a skillet or microwave, and warm the sauce gently on the stove before serving.
