Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients for pancakes:
- 3 fresh eggs
- 400 ml milk
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons oil
- a pinch of salt

Ingredients for the filling:
- 200 g berries (fresh or frozen)
- 200 g mascarpone
- 1 vanilla pod
- 140 g sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter

Step by step for delicious pancakes

1. Preparing the pancake batter:
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk or mixer. Gradually add the milk and mix well. Incorporate the sifted flour, salt, and oil. Mix until you obtain a smooth, lump-free batter. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes – this step will make the pancakes fluffier.

2. Baking the pancakes:
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a little butter. When the butter has melted, pour a ladle of batter into the pan, swirling it to evenly cover the bottom. Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes or until the edges turn golden and lift easily. Flip the pancake and cook the other side. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, keeping the pancakes on a plate.

3. Preparing the berry filling:
In the same pan, add the cleaned and washed berries. Cook them for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they soften. Add the sugar and mix well. Once the sugar has melted, remove the pan from the heat and let the filling cool slightly. Add the mascarpone cheese and the seeds from the vanilla pod (slice the pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a knife), mixing everything until you have a uniform mixture. Chill the filling in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up a bit.

4. Assembling the pancakes:
Take a pancake and place about 2 tablespoons of filling on one half. Fold the pancake in half and place it on a platter. You can decorate with fresh berries and a few vanilla seeds for an attractive look.

Practical tips

- Berries: You can use any type of berries – raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, or strawberries. If you choose frozen berries, make sure to let them thaw completely and drain excess water to avoid affecting the texture of the filling.

- Mascarpone cream: If you want a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of sugar. You can also substitute mascarpone with well-drained cottage cheese.

- Variations: Add a splash of lemon juice to the filling to enhance the flavors of the fruit, or you can add some chopped nuts for a crunchy texture.

Nutritional benefits

These pancakes are an excellent source of protein due to the eggs and mascarpone cheese. Berries are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, providing health benefits. Additionally, this dessert can be a healthier choice compared to other sweets, especially if you use fresh and natural ingredients.

Frequently asked questions

- Can I use other types of flour? Yes, you can experiment with whole wheat or gluten-free flour, but the texture of the pancakes may vary.

- How can I store the pancakes? Pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2-3 days. You can reheat them in the microwave or in a pan.

- What can I serve alongside? These delicious pancakes pair perfectly with a scoop of ice cream, warm chocolate sauce, or even a drizzle of Greek yogurt.
