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
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Fruit Filling

  • 1 cup mixed fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, and banana slices)

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare 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. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; avoid overmixing for tender pancakes.
  2. Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat until all batter is used.
  3. Assemble Tacos: Allow the pancakes to cool slightly so they are pliable but warm. Gently fold each pancake in half to form a taco shell shape.
  4. Fill and Top: Spoon mixed fresh fruit inside each folded pancake. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream for a creamy finish. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use warm pancakes to make folding easier without cracking.
  • Feel free to customize the fruit filling with seasonal fruits or berries of your choice.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute buttermilk with a plant-based milk and use coconut whipped cream.
  • Make batter ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours to save time in the morning.
