How to make Custard Cream Pancake

by

Making the Custard Cream:

  1. Heat the Milk:
    • In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it’s hot but not boiling.
  2. Mix the Yolks, Sugar, and Cornstarch:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until well combined.
  3. Combine and Thicken:
    • Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
    • Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens and comes to a gentle boil.
  4. Add Vanilla and Butter:
    • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until smooth.
    • Transfer the custard to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and let it cool.

Making the Pancakes:

  1. Prepare the Batter:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (the batter should be slightly lumpy).
  2. Cook the Pancakes:
    • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
    • Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
    • Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes more.
    • Repeat with the remaining batter.

Assemble the Pancakes:

  1. Layer the Pancakes:
    • Place one pancake on a plate and spread a spoonful of custard cream over it.
    • Top with another pancake and repeat the layering, ending with a pancake on top.
  2. Serve:
    • Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with syrup.
    • Serve warm and enjoy your custard cream pancakes!

Tips:

  • Consistency: If the custard cream is too thick, you can thin it out with a little more milk.
  • Flavors: You can add a hint of lemon or orange zest to the custard for a citrusy flavor.

Enjoy your delicious, no-machine, no-oven custard cream pancakes!
