For the Berry Filling & Topping
- 2 tbsp Honeyberry Freeze Dried Cranberry Pieces
- 2 tbsp Honeyberry Freeze Dried Blueberry Pieces
- 2 tbsp Honeyberry Freeze Dried Raspberry Pieces
- 2-3 tbsp hot water
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
For the Pancakes
- 200 g plain flour
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- Pinch salt
- 2 medium eggs
- 250 ml milk
- 50 g melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 tsp Honeyberry Madagascan Vanilla Extract (optional)
Make the Berry Filling
In a small bowl, combine the freeze-dried cranberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
Add 2–3 tablespoons of hot water and stir gently until the berries soften and form a compote-like texture.
Sweeten with honey or maple syrup if desired. Set aside.
Make the Pancake Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, caster sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. A few lumps are fine (don’t overmix).
Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan. Spoon a little berry compote into the centre of the pancake, then cover with a bit more batter to seal the fruit inside.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve
Stack the pancakes on plates. Top with extra berry compote and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, if desired.
Enjoy warm and fluffy, bursting with fruity goodness!
