Ingredients

Scale

Pancakes

  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • Cooking oil (for skillet)

Filling

  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup strawberry jam
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup strawberries (quartered)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the skillet: Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the pancakes evenly.
  2. Prepare the egg mixture: Crack the egg into a medium bowl and whisk thoroughly. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, then whisk again until fully combined. Set aside.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In another medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and flavor.
  4. Mix batter: Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth and fully incorporated without overmixing to keep the pancakes tender.
  5. Prepare the skillet: Pour 1 teaspoon of cooking oil into the heated skillet, tilting to coat the surface evenly to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook the pancakes: Pour approximately ⅓ cup of batter onto the skillet, tilting it to spread the batter into a pancake about 5 inches in diameter. Cook for about 2 minutes until bubbles appear and edges look set, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat to make a total of 4 pancakes.
  7. Make the strawberry cream filling: In a stand mixer bowl fitted with a whisk attachment or using a handheld electric whisk in a medium bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, strawberry jam, and lemon juice. Whip starting on low speed to combine, then increase gradually to medium and high as the cream thickens. Stop whipping when soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
  8. Assemble the pancake tacos: Place each pancake on a small plate. Spoon or pipe several heaping tablespoons of the strawberry cream on one half of the pancake.
  9. Fold and garnish: Fold the pancakes in half to resemble tacos and top with fresh quartered strawberries for a fresh and fruity finish.
  10. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy these delightful strawberry pancake tacos with your family and friends.

Notes

  • Ensure the skillet is properly heated before cooking to get evenly cooked and golden pancakes.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and fluffy.
  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture contrast.
  • You can substitute strawberry jam with any other berry jam for variations.
  • Serve immediately for the best taste as pancakes tend to lose fluffiness when cooled.
