Pineapple Tidbits and/or Chaucer Mango pieces.

Method

  • Topping
  • 1
    Begin with combining the Chaucer Strawberry Slices and Chaucer Blueberries with the melted butter. Stir and set aside.
  • Pancakes
  • 1
    Melt the butter
  • 2
    In a bowl combine the flour, Chaucer Blueberries, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.
  • 3
    In a jug, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract and melted butter.
  • 4
    Add the liquid to the dry mix and gently mix together being careful to not over-mix.
  • 5
    Meanwhile put the extra butter in a griddle or frying pan and melt until frothing.
  • 6
    Spoon tablespoonsful of the pancake mix into the hot butter being careful not to put too many in at one time (the pancakes will spread).
  • 7
    Cook on a gentle heat for 3-4 minutes on one side, turn, and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
  • 8
    Serve immediately in stacks of 3-4 topped with whipped cream, Chaucer Strawberry Slices, Chaucer Blue-berries and Maple Syrup

Notes:

This recipe can be executed with ready -made pancakes without inclusions and simply topped with freeze dried fruits and cream as per the ingredients/instructions. Or for a layered cream, fruit and pancake stack multiply freeze-dried fruit quantities by 3.
