Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Fillings and Toppings
- 1 cup mixed fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, bananas, or peaches), sliced
- 1/2 cup whipped cream or yogurt (vanilla or plain)
Instructions
- Prepare the pancake batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the batter light.
- Cook thin pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour a small amount of batter (about 1/4 cup) onto the skillet and spread it thin to form a small, thin pancake. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Assemble the pancake tacos: Fold each thin pancake in half to resemble a taco shell. Fill the inside with sliced fresh fruit and top with a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt. Serve immediately while pancakes are warm and soft for the best texture.
Notes
- Use thin pancakes to make folding easier and to mimic the taco shape.
- Choose fruits that are fresh and firm to prevent sogginess.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute whipped cream or yogurt with coconut cream or a plant-based alternative.
- The batter can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup as a topping if desired.
