5 Stunning Pancake Recipes to Impress Your Guests

My first attempt at making pancakes was a disaster. The ingredients, mixed according to a random online recipe, turned into a strange, cosmic goo. When poured onto the pan, the goo would shrink, spread into oily patches, and even jump off the stove. Fortunately, life often gives us a chance to make things right, and Pancake Week is one of those times. Let’s leave ordinary pancakes to ordinary people and create something stunningly beautiful. Here are a few recipes that will make everyone around you forget that pancakes can be boring.

Mini Pancake Rolls

Mini pancake rolls with fruit sauce are perfect for breakfast or dessert. They have simple ingredients and an uncomplicated preparation process, yet they look absolutely amazing.

Ingredients:

Batter:

  • 500 ml of milk
  • 50 g of dark chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons of cocoa
  • 5-6 tablespoons of boiling water
  • 250 g of flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
  • 25 g of butter
  • Salt to taste

Sauce:

  • 300 g of any canned fruits
  • Fresh oranges or bananas
  • 50 g of butter
  • 50 g of brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of starch

Instructions:

Batter: Mix the eggs with sugar and salt, gradually add milk, baking powder, and melted butter. Mix everything until smooth. Divide the batter into two bowls. Use one half to make regular white pancakes. To the other half, add cocoa with boiling water and melted chocolate. Make chocolate pancakes the same way as the white ones.

While the pancakes are still hot, pair them by different colors, roll them up, and cut them in half.

Sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepan, add sugar and syrup from the canned fruits. Cook for about seven minutes. In two tablespoons of the resulting sauce, dissolve the starch and let it cool. Cook the fruits in the remaining syrup for a couple of minutes, then add the sauce with starch. Serve with pancakes.

Pumpkin Pancakes with Cinnamon

These pancakes can be served with sweetened condensed milk or with bacon, fried onions, and soy sauce. Pumpkin pairs perfectly with cinnamon and gives the dish a bright orange color. It’s the perfect color and flavor therapy to help you forget that summer is still three months away.

Ingredients:

  • 400 g of pumpkin
  • 2 eggs
  • 170 g of wheat flour
  • 200 ml of milk
  • Ground cinnamon to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • Salt and vanilla to taste
  • 50 g of sugar
  • Powdered sugar for decoration

Instructions:

Whisk the milk with eggs until smooth, add flour and spices. Grate the pumpkin finely and whisk it together with the rest of the mixture. Cook on a frying pan.

Beetroot Pancakes

The most attractive feature of these pancakes is their wonderful purple hue. The taste of beets won’t be too strong, so don’t be afraid to use them in this dish.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar
  • 50 ml of baked milk
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1.5 cups of milk
  • 1 egg
  • 200 g of beets
  • 50 ml of sunflower oil

Instructions:

Boil the beets and cut them into pieces. In a blender, mix them with milk, baked milk, and egg. Add salt, sugar, flour, and mix well. Let the batter sit for half an hour, then you can start cooking.

These pancakes go well with a filling of melted cheese with garlic or can be rolled up with herring.

French Crêpes with Orange Sauce

Crêpes are French pancakes made from wheat, chestnut, or buckwheat flour. They are exquisite and light, just like everything in this country. This dish has many variations. Here’s the classic dessert “Crêpes Suzette”.

Ingredients:

Batter:

  • 2 eggs
  • 500 ml of 20% cream
  • 120 g of wheat flour
  • 50 g of powdered sugar
  • 20 g of butter
  • Salt to taste

Sauce:

  • 2 oranges
  • 30 g of butter
  • 50 g of sugar
  • 50 g of cognac
  • 5 g of starch

Instructions:

Crêpes: Beat the eggs with flour, cream, salt, and powdered sugar. Melt the butter and add it to the beaten mixture. Mix until you get a smooth batter without lumps. Cook on a frying pan.

Sauce: Cut the orange zest into strips and squeeze the juice from the pulp. Pour the sugar into a dry, heated frying pan and wait until caramel forms. Add the butter and orange zest. Mix the orange juice with cognac and starch. Pour onto the frying pan and wait until the mixture thickens slightly. Serve warm.

Arabic Pancakes with Topping and Canned Fruits

Arabic pancakes are called kataef and are unique because they are cooked on one side only. They are served as rolls secured at the base and filled with various fillings.

Ingredients:

  • 250 ml of milk
  • 240 g of wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon of yeast
  • 250 ml of water
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar

For the filling:

  • Cream topping
  • Canned peaches or other fruits
  • Walnuts

Instructions:

In a cup of warm water, add sugar, yeast, and let it sit for 7-10 minutes until a “cap” forms. Then pour in warm milk and add flour mixed with baking powder. Blend until smooth.

Cook on a frying pan on one side only. The pancakes should be smaller than usual. Do not stack the finished pancakes on top of each other, otherwise they will stick together. Let them cool slightly and glue them halfway in the form of a roll. Fill with topping mixed with canned peaches and chopped walnuts.
