Equipment
- 1 small bowl
- 1 medium bowl
- 1 separate bowl
- 1 griddle or skillet
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fat free half-and-half
- ½ cup mascarpone cheese
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ⅔ cup whole wheat pastry flour
- ⅓ cup buckwheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ tablespoon sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Fresh fruit (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, bananas, peaches, etc - whatever you would like)
Instructions
- Mix the half-and-half, mascarpone, almond extract and brown sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
- Combine the whole wheat flour, buckwheat flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, blend together the eggs, vanilla and 1/4 cup water until smooth.
- Whisk the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, adding additional water 1 teaspoon at a time as needed, to make a thick batter.
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat and, once hot, pour the batter into small pancakes, about 2 tablespoons batter per pancake. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until browned and puffy (about 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick).
- Flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat this process until you have 24 small pancakes (keep finished pancakes warm in a 200 degree oven until ready to serve).
- Top each pancake with a teaspoon of the mascarpone mixture (or stack 6 pancakes on each plate and add a large dollop of topping to entire stack). Garnish with as much fresh fruit as you would like.
