Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Maple syrup, for drizzling
How to Make Cream-Filled Pancake Stack
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour about ¼ 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 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
- In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- To assemble, place one pancake on a plate, spread a generous layer of cream on top, and add another pancake. Repeat the layering process until you have a stack of 3-4 pancakes. Drizzle with warm maple syrup before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
- Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish the stack.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter.
Easy Variations
- Add chocolate chips or blueberries to the pancake batter for a fruity twist.
- Swap in flavored extracts, such as almond or hazelnut, for a unique cream filling.
- Top with fresh fruit, like strawberries or bananas, for added freshness.
What to Serve With It
- Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- Whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
- A hot cup of coffee or tea to complement the sweetness.
