Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Custard Cream:

  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

Making the Custard Cream:

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Do not boil.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth and pale.
  3. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
  4. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a boil.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until smooth.
  6. Transfer the custard to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Making the Pancakes:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if desired.

Assembling the Pancakes:

  1. Place a pancake on a plate and spread a spoonful of custard cream on top.
  2. Stack another pancake on top and repeat until you have a stack of 3-4 pancakes.
  3. Serve the pancakes warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with maple syrup.

Enjoy your delicious Custard Cream Pancakes!
