Introduction: Every morning, a mother would discover a strange pile in her daughter’s room. At first, she thought it was just a forgotten mess or a quirky habit. But over time, the pile started to look oddly familiar and increasingly intentional. Finally, one day, she realized the pile wasn’t just clutter; it was the remnants of something far more meaningful – an attempt at creating the perfect breakfast. Her daughter had been practicing her cooking skills in secret and was trying to perfect a new breakfast recipe that they would later share together: The Breakfast Surprise Stack. The mother marveled at her daughter's dedication and creativity. Now, this recipe has become a cherished tradition, a secret passed down in the family for generations.
In this article, you will discover how this unexpected pile led to the creation of a delicious and heartwarming breakfast dish that is perfect for starting the day off right.
Ingredients:
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup chopped mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
Prep the ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and sugar.
Combine the dry and wet ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until combined into a smooth batter. Make sure not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. For each pancake, pour a small amount of batter onto the skillet (about 1/4 cup per pancake). Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and puffed up. Repeat until all the batter is used.
Assemble the stack: Layer the pancakes on a plate, stacking them high. Between each pancake layer, sprinkle a few chopped berries and drizzle with honey or maple syrup. Continue layering until you’ve created a tall stack of fluffy pancakes.
Garnish and serve: Finish off the stack by dusting it lightly with powdered sugar and adding a few more fresh berries on top for a burst of color. Serve immediately for a delightful morning surprise!
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Serve the pancakes while they’re warm with a side of fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of your favorite syrup. These pancakes are also delicious with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for a fun brunch treat.
Storage: If you have leftovers, allow the pancakes to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or on a skillet over low heat.
