Chef notes
These are super simple to make and the ingredients are easy to find. Everyone is familiar with each component, but no one has had them all in one combo like this! At Rockit Bar & Grill, everyone orders one for the table to split, like a brunchy dessert. They're perfect for family sharing at home, impressive to make for friends or that special someone in the morning.
Technique tip: Wait until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes before you flip them.
Swap option: Use your favorite kind of berry. You can also make these gluten-free by swapping the all-purpose flour for chickpea or coconut flour.
