Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling and Serving
- 1/2 cup lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
- Fresh berries for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Prepare Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined; avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes tender.
- Heat Pan: Warm a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Base Pancake Layer: Pour roughly 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake and cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface.
- Add Lemon Curd Filling: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of lemon curd onto the center of the partially cooked pancake layer.
- Cover Filling: Spoon a small amount of batter over the lemon curd to seal the filling inside the pancake.
- Flip Pancake: Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat: Continue the process with the remaining batter and lemon curd until all pancakes are cooked.
- Serve: Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar and accompanied by fresh berries for a vibrant presentation.
Notes
- For convenience, you can use a pre-made pancake mix and fill the pancakes with lemon curd in the same way.
- These pancakes are best enjoyed immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
- Leftover pancakes can be gently reheated in the microwave.
