Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fillings and Toppings
- 1 cup whipped cream or yogurt
- 1 cup fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, or bananas)
- ½ cup chocolate chips or granola
- maple syrup for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract together until smooth and well blended.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes tender and fluffy.
- Heat Pan: Warm a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Form Taco Shells: Remove the pancakes and let them cool slightly so they become pliable. Gently fold each pancake into a taco shape without cracking.
- Add Fillings: Fill each pancake taco with whipped cream or yogurt, fresh fruit of your choice, and toppings like chocolate chips or granola.
- Serve: Drizzle the filled pancake tacos with maple syrup and serve immediately for a delicious and fun meal experience.
Notes
- For sturdier taco shells, make the pancakes slightly thicker or allow them to cool completely before folding and filling.
- You can substitute whipped cream with mascarpone or nut butter to add richness to the filling.
- These pancake tacos are versatile and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dessert option.
