Gather
  • 100 ml milk (I used unsweetened oat)
  • 100 g plain yogurt (I used thick unsweetened coconut)
  • 100 g plain flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • *fillings of choice (chocolate spread, biscoff, nut butter, coulis etc)
  • *toppings of choice (nuts, fruit, chocolate, biscuits, sauce)
Prepare

  1. Mix the milk and yogurt together in a jug. Add the flour, salt and baking powder and mix well. Set aside to thicken slightly.

  2. Heat a non stick frying pan (you can add a drizzle of oil if you want to). Spoon in some batter and gently tilt the pan to spread the batter to the desired size. Wait until the surface is covered in bubbles. Flip over and cook for half the time it took to cook the first side. Remove and taste test. Is the texture good and the thickness? Add a bit more flour or milk if needed. Cook your pancakes one at a time, checking the pan stays on a medium heat (otherwise you will get lots of smoke). Only flip the pancake when the surface is covered in bubbles.

  3. For a Whole Stack:

  4. Make your pancakes: You can make your pancakes any size you prefer. Larger pancakes will give you a bigger overall cake, while smaller ones will create a more manageable sized cake.

  5. Get everything ready: Have your fillings and toppings prepared in advance for easier assembly. Also, make sure you have a palette knife or butter knife ready for smooth spreading.

  6. Layer and stack: Begin stacking your pancakes, spreading your chosen fillings between each layer. If the stack gets too tall, you can use a skewer or bamboo rod in the centre to keep everything secure and upright.
  7. Top it off: Once your stack is complete, add your toppings for a beautiful finishing touch!
  8. For an Individual Serving:

  9. Make 2-3 smaller pancakes: Keep the pancakes a bit bigger than the size of a regular mug base.

  10. Cut into pieces: After cooking, cut the pancakes into halves or quarters.
  11. Spread and stack: Spread your filling between each piece, then stack them up to create your individual pancake cake slice!

  12. Enjoy!
