Pancake Taco
Ingredients
1 ½ cups plain flour
1 tbsp baking powder
2 tbsp caster sugar
3 eggs
1 cup milk
50g unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Whipped cream or mascarpone to serve
Method
Mix the flour, baking powder and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
Whisk eggs, milk, butter and vanilla until well combined. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and whisk in milk mixture to make a smooth batter.
Heat a large, lightly greased non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Working in batches of 2-3, pour shallow ¼ cups of batter into the pan. Not too close together so they have plenty of room to spread and have a round shape. Cook pancakes for 1-2 minutes, until bubbles break on the surface and underside is golden brown. Flip over and cook for 1 minute. Wrap cooked pancakes in a clean tea towel so they remain warm and pliable.
To serve, fold one pancake into a taco shape and spoon in fruit. Top with a dollop of cream. Prop up the ‘taco’ using 2 glasses on each side to keep its shape. Repeat with remaining pancakes, using the tacos to support each other. Serve immediately drizzled with any extra sauce.
Tips & Hints
Use fruit in season or frozen berries available in your supermarket freezer.
