Christmas Tree Pancakes
These stacked Christmas tree pancakes are a fun and festive Christmas treat that's easy to make and will bring joy to the entire Christmas table.
Ingredients
For the pancakes:
- 2 medium eggs
- 270 g all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 6 g baking soda
- 4 tbsp granulated sugar
- 260 ml whole milk
- 60 g butter at room temperature
- green food coloring
- salt
- olive oil for baking
For the whipped cream:
- 330 ml heavy cream
- 80 g powdered sugar
For serving:
- colorful sprinkles
Instructions
For the pancakes:
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, eggs, salt, milk, food coloring, and whisk until smooth.
- In another skillet heated over medium-high heat, add a little butter. Scoop 2 generous tablespoons of the batter and pour them into the center of the skillet. Use the back of the spoon to spread the mixture into a round shape.
- Cook the pancake on one side until small bubbles form on the top, then flip it with a spatula.
- Once cooked, transfer to a plate. Repeat the process, gradually reducing the diameter of the pancakes to create a Christmas tree shape.
For the whipped cream:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and powdered sugar. Whip on high speed until soft peaks form, then transfer it to a piping bag with a star tip.
For the assembly:
- Place the largest pancake on a large plate and spread whipped cream on top. Continue stacking the pancakes from largest to smallest, decorating with whipped cream in between.
- Serve the Christmas tree, sprinkled with colorful truffles.
Notes
Chef’s tip: If you let the batter sit in the fridge for a day, the pancakes will turn out even fluffier and tastier!
