Ingredients
- 150ml espresso strength coffee
- 150g brown sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (One for syrup, one for pancakes)
- 250g mascarpone
- 2 tbsp vodka
- 6 tbsp icing sugar
- 175g plain flour
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 150ml milk
- 50ml coffee liqueur (optional)
- Large handful dark choc chips (optional)
- Butter for pan
- Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Method
Step 1
Preheat your oven to gas 3, 160°C, fan 140°C. Add all syrup ingredients to a pan, bring to a simmer for 5-10 mins until thick and sticky and set aside.Step 2
Whilst waiting for your syrup to thicken make your vodka mascarpone. Simply whisk all ingredients together until thickened and pop in the fridge until ready.Step 3
Onto the pancakes… add your dry ingredients to a bowl, mix and create a well in the centre. Crack in the eggs, add the vanilla extract and pour in the milk and liqueur (if using). Using a fork, begin whisking together in small circular motions, gradually incorporating the dry mixture bit by bit until a smooth batter forms.Step 4
Fold through the choc chips (if using) and set aside. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a knob of butter. Allow to melt and add a ladle of batter to the centre of the pan. Once the top of the pancake begins to bubble it is ready to flip. Cook for a minute or two on the second side, remove onto a lined baking tray and pop in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.Step 5
Serve 1-2 pancakes per person with a big dollop of vodka mascarpone, lashings of coffee syrup and choc shavings. Or, pile high, layering with cream and pouring over syrup and chocolate sprinkles for the perfect sharer to dig into this Pancake Day!
