Notes

  • Use a large frying pan for cooking multiple pancakes at once.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste. You can reduce it for a less sweet version.
  • Add a bit of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for added flavor.
  • This recipe works with any fruit you have on hand, so feel free to experiment with pears, bananas, or berries.
  • The pancakes are best enjoyed warm, fresh off the pan.
