Pancakes – the cheat’s method

The first time I made these Mini Nutella and Strawberry Pancake Stacks I didn’t actually make the pancakes. I had had a long day at work and decided to buy a bag of Diddy Dutch Pancakes from Abra-ca-Debora that I’d seen in the chilled food aisle at the supermarket. It was pancake day and I just didn’t have the time to make pancakes from scratch. That’s right, these pancake stacks were really just an assembly job that required absolutely no cooking.

So, I warmed the tiny pancakes through, spread each one with Nutella and painstakingly stacked them with a strawberry in between each. They were the most adorable stacks of pure happiness and Jon and I devoured a whole plate of them. We were stuffed silly by the end of it!

The concept was clearly a good one and ever since I’d been trying to find a reason to make them properly but pancake day comes but once a year!

Pancakes from scratch

That pancake day with Jon where we tucked into store bought pancakes was actually the first pancake day we spent together in our flat. I’ll admit, I somewhat felt like I had let him down by not making pancakes from scratch.

When I was a child we always had homemade pancakes, no matter what. My Mum will be the first to admit she’s not much of a cook and so it was always Dad who tossed the pancakes in the kitchen. Usually he’d come home just in time for dinner and head straight to the kitchen to make pancakes in his suit. I have such fond memories of the pancakes coming out of the kitchen, one at a time. As the youngest I always got my pancake first, then my sister and then my Mum.

We’d have 3 or 4 each – or as many as my dad could get out  of a big batch or two of batter.  He’d always make sure that he put a couple on a plate for himself and keep them warm in in the oven. Once we’d had our fill he’d sit down at the table, squeeze over some lemon juice, sprinkle them with sugar and enjoy his pancakes.

Looking back I have no idea how he managed to show so much self-restraint, making sure we were fed before he got to eat his. Especially considering that he’d been at work all day! Never again will I use work as an excuse to buy ready made pancakes. If Dad can do it so can I.

Tiny pancakes

Getting back to the matter in hand…what makes these pancake stacks so awesome is their size! Whether you’re feeding little people, just trying to exercise some portion control, or just want to make an adorable breakfast for your sweetheart, these mini Nutella and strawberry pancake stacks are ideal!

I make my teeny tiny pancakes roughly 1.5 inches in diameter. Any bigger than that and you can’t stuff them in your mouth all at once! These stacks are bite size. Almost like a breakfast canape!

You’ll find full details of how to make them in the recipe card below, but to make make these miniature pancakes I’d really recommend investing in a squeezy bottle. (You can also use it for my lace heart pancakes recipe!) If you don’t have a squeezy bottle don’t worry, a spoonful of batter will make roughly one tiny pancake.  Scroll down for the full recipe.
