Who doesn’t love pancakes for breakfast? These Black Forest fruits pancakes are simple to make, delicious and wonderful for kids.
Using frozen Black Forest fruits – no defrosting time necessary – and with a batter that’s whipped up in two minutes flat, these make a quick but still special breakfast.
You can top with whatever you like. I like honey, because the pancakes themselves are unsweetened, but yoghurt, a handful of berries, even some ice cream work beautifully too.
Ingredients, Substitutions and Variations
- Eggs – use medium or large eggs.
- Plain flour – I use white plain flour, you could use whole meal or brown if you like.
- Milk – semi-skimmed or whole milk is best.
- Black Forest fruits – use frozen fruits. You’ll need to chop them up into little pieces to make the pancakes.
- Olive oil – you could also cook the pancakes in vegetable oil or butter.
Top Tips
- Get ahead You can make the batter the night before and keep it in the fridge. Give it a quick whisk in the morning to loosen it back up.
- Chopping the fruit I use a mezzaluna to easily chop the fruit, but a sharp knife will do the job just as well.
- Cooking the pancakes You’ll want the heat to be a little lower than when you cook pancakes without fruit in them, to make sure that the pancakes cook all of the way through without burning.
