Light and airy pancakes enriched with creamy mascarpone and topped with fresh berries, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups whole milk (or dairy-free milk like oat or almond)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 cup fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Extra mascarpone or whipped cream (optional, for dolloping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Stir in softened mascarpone cheese into the wet mixture until fully combined and creamy.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Preheat skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour ¼ cup batter onto skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip pancakes carefully and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a cooling rack or plate lined with paper towels to keep warm.
  9. Serve stacked pancakes topped with fresh berries, a dollop of mascarpone or whipped cream, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and drizzle with maple syrup.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender. Use medium heat to avoid burning. If batter thickens while cooking, add a splash of milk. Prepare toppings ahead for faster serving. For gluten-free, use a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend. For vegan, substitute milk, egg, and mascarpone accordingly.
