Having a mix ready to go saves time and less ingredients to store. My grandkids wanted to make this recipe and had a blast serving their mom and dad a special breakfast.
Ingredients
1 450g bag Sixteen Grains pancake mix
2 eggs
2 cups milk
3 tablespoons oil
½ cup Nutella, melted
4 tablespoons butter
Syrup:
2 pints fresh fruit
¾ cup sugar
1 cup water
1 lemon, zested
Directions
Pancakes: Preheat a griddle. Pour dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Slowly mix in egg, milk, Nutella and oil until combined. Add a little extra milk if batter feels too thick. Let mixture sit 5 minutes. Melt 1 tablespoon butter on griddle and move around to coat entire griddle. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake on griddle to form 5-inch pancakes. The batter spreads as it cooks. Fill griddle without crowding pancakes. Flip when air pockets start to pop on the top and a quick peak on the underside reveals a golden pancake. Repeat with remaining butter and batter.
Fruit Syrup: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Lower heat to a simmer and cook until liquid is reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 10 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break up blackberries as they cook. Strain syrup to remove seeds and serve warm. Pour over pancakes.
Nada’s Tips & Tricks: Hit the farmer’s market this summer and change up the syrup depending on what’s in season. You can also use frozen berries in the winter.
