Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon melted butter plus extra for the pan
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling and Toppings
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup whipped cream or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- Optional toppings such as chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth to ensure the liquids are well blended.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the pancakes tender and fluffy.
- Heat the Pan: Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly butter the surface to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of batter for each small pancake onto the skillet to create mini pancakes suitable for folding. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until the second side is golden brown.
- Assemble Tacos: Once cooked, place slices of strawberry, banana, and blueberries along with whipped cream or Greek yogurt in the center of each pancake. Fold each pancake taco-style.
- Serve: Drizzle with maple syrup and add any optional toppings like chocolate chips or chopped nuts. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Small pancakes work best to fold easily without breaking.
- Swap fruits based on seasonal availability or preference.
- Greek yogurt can replace whipped cream for higher protein and a healthier option.
