Black Forest Fruits Pancakes

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

1. 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.
2. Chopping the fruit I use a mezzaluna to easily chop the fruit, but a sharp knife will do the job just as well.
3. 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.
