Pancakes and berries with cream is such an indulgent breakfast and one that I like to enjoy occasionally and not just for breakfast! I have spiced this recipe up with the addition of cardamom, which adds a wonderful scent and flavour.
This pancake recipe is different from the typical Somali malawax in that the mixture is thicker and the pancakes are fluffier.
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 ½ tablespoon sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional or use 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence)
Ingredients for the berry compote
- 1 cup mixed berries
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Beat egg and sugar well, add half the milk and mix well use an electric beater
- Gradually spoon in flour, salt, and the rest of milk
- Add melted butter and lastly, add baking powder. Let the mixture stand for a few minutes.
- Heat a frying pan and when hot pour a ladleful of the mixture. Spread quickly in a circular motion into a rounded shape. Cook until brown. Flip and cook the other side. Repeat until all the mixture is cooked.
Instructions for making the berry compote
- Boil the berries and sugar over medium heat for about five minutes. Stir occasionally and cook until the fruit is soft and mushy.
- Allow the compote to cool. Pour over the pancake and serve with whipped cream.
