Pancakes de Cajeta

Pancakes de Cajeta are a delicious Mexican twist on traditional pancakes, infused with the rich flavor of cajeta, a caramel-like sauce made from goat's milk. These fluffy pancakes are perfect for a cozy brunch, drizzled with extra cajeta and topped with fresh fruits.

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 150 grams
• baking powder - 10 grams
• salt - 2 grams
• milk - 200 milliliters
• eggs - 1 large
• cajeta - 50 grams, plus extra for serving
• vanilla extract - 5 milliliters
• unsalted butter - 30 grams, melted
• fresh fruit (e.g., bananas or berries) - 100 grams

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, cajeta, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well mixed.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
7. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with extra cajeta and topped with fresh fruits.
