📌 Ingredients (for approximately 8 pancakes):
For the pancakes:
- 200 g flour
- 2 eggs
- 150 ml semi-skimmed or plant-based milk
- 60 ml strong filtered coffee (such as espresso or concentrated filter coffee)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the coffee reduction:
- 150 ml strong filtered coffee
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
For the topping:
- 150 g mascarpone
- 2 tablespoons icing sugar
- Maple syrup (warmed)
🍳 Step-by-step preparation:
🔸 Step 1: Prepare the coffee reduction
- Pour 150 ml of strong filtered coffee into a small saucepan with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
- Heat gently until reduced by half to make a concentrated coffee syrup with a syrupy consistency.
- Set aside to cool slightly.
🔸 Step 2: Prepare the pancake batter
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, brown sugar and a pinch of salt.
- In another bowl, lightly whisk the eggs, then add the milk, vanilla extract, oil (or melted butter) and 60 ml of strong filtered coffee.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, whisking until you have a smooth batter.
- Gently stir half of your cooled coffee reduction into the batter.
🔸 Step 3: Prepare the mascarpone cream
- In a chilled bowl, whisk the mascarpone vigorously with the icing sugar until light and airy.
- Keep chilled until ready to serve.
🔸 Step 4: Cook the pancakes
- Heat a lightly greased non-stick frying pan over a medium heat.
- Pour a small ladleful of batter into the hot pan, forming round pancakes approximately 10–12 cm in diameter.
- Cook for around 1 to 2 minutes, until small bubbles appear on the surface, then carefully flip and cook for a further 1 minute until nicely golden.
- Repeat until all the batter has been used.
🔸 Step 5: Plate up and serve
- Arrange the warm pancakes on a plate.
- Add a generous spoonful of whipped mascarpone on top of the pancakes.
- Pour the remaining coffee reduction over the mascarpone.
- Finish with a generous drizzle of warm maple syrup for the perfect tasting experience.
