For the Nutty Walnut Pancakes- Pancake mix 200g
- Milk 100ml
- 1 fresh egg
- 1 handful finely chopped walnuts
- Strawberries for garnish
- Blueberries for garnish
- Fresh herbs (like mint) for garnish
For the Flavorful Walnut Whipped Cream- 3 cups cooked walnuts (or roasted walnuts)
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 3 cups cooked walnuts (or roasted walnuts)
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To enhance the nutty flavor, lightly soak the walnuts in cold water for about 10 minutes, then drain them thoroughly. Next, in a preheated pan over low heat, roast the walnuts until lightly golden and fragrant, being careful not to burn them. Roasting deepens their flavor.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the walnut whipped cream. In a blender or using an immersion blender, combine the roasted walnuts, water, powdered sugar, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Taste and adjust the sweetness as needed.
Step 3
In a large bowl, crack one fresh egg and whisk it well. Once the egg is lightly beaten, add 100ml of milk and mix until fully combined, ensuring there are no lumps. This liquid base will make your pancakes wonderfully moist.
Step 4
To the milk and egg mixture, add the 200g of pancake mix, sifting it in to avoid lumps. Gently mix until just combined; overmixing can lead to tough pancakes. Finally, stir in the finely chopped walnuts to create the batter. The batter should be slightly thick.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the pan with oil using a paper towel. Ladle an appropriate amount of pancake batter onto the hot pan, forming a round shape. Once bubbles start to appear on the surface, carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown. Aim to make about 2-3 pancakes.
Step 6
Place a cooked pancake onto a serving plate. Generously spread some of the prepared walnut whipped cream over the pancake. Add a few slices of fresh strawberry on top. Layering the pancakes, cream, and fruit like a stack makes for a visually appealing presentation.
Step 7
Repeat the layering process 2-3 more times. Finish by topping with more walnut whipped cream, artfully arranged strawberries, plump blueberries, and a sprig of fresh herb. Your beautiful and delicious ‘Sweet Walnut Cream Pancakes’ are ready to impress! They’ll make any occasion sweeter.
