Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 250 milliliters Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 30 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 150 grams Fresh or frozen cherries (pitted and halved)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently mix until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Do not overmix.
Fold the cherries gently into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.
Once the skillet is hot, ladle about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter slightly with the back of the ladle if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm, dusted with powdered sugar if desired. Optionally, pair them with whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra indulgence.
