How to prepare Lotus Biscuit Pancakes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour 🍞
- 2 tbsp Lotus Biscoff spread (optional, for flavor) 🍪
- 2 tbsp sugar 🍚
- 1 tsp baking powder 🥄
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt 🧂
- 1 egg 🥚
- 3/4 cup (180ml) milk 🥛
- 1 tbsp melted butter or oil 🧈
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 🍦
- 1/2 cup whipped cream or yogurt 🍨
- 2 Lotus biscuits (1 for garnish, 1 crushed for topping) 🍪
- Fresh strawberries 🍓
- Blueberries 🫐
- Raspberries 🍇
- Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts) 🥜
- Cocoa powder or cinnamon (light dusting) 🍫
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the egg, milk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract. If you love the taste of Lotus Biscoff, add the spread here and mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix–a few lumps are fine!
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2-3 minutes each side.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven while you finish cooking the rest.
- To serve, stack the pancakes on a plate and top with whipped cream or yogurt, crushed Lotus biscuits, fresh fruits, and nuts. Finish with a light dusting of cocoa powder or cinnamon if desired. Enjoy! 🍽️
