ESPRESSO MARTINI PANCAKES

Steps:

• Simmer the espresso coffee, caster sugar and coffee liqueur in a small pan until thick and syrupy, about 5-10 mins. Set aside to cool.
• Whisk all of the pancake ingredients together in a large bowl until smooth.
• Put a small knob of butter in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat and cook until melted and foaming. Pour 2 tbsp of the mixture into the pan and use the back of the spoon to shape it into a 8-9cm round disc. Depending on the size of your pan, you may be able to get 2 or 3 pancakes to cook at the same time. Cook for 2-3 mins on the first side, then flip over and cook for another 1 min.
• Heat oven to its lowest setting. Stack the cooked pancakes on a baking tray and keep warm in the oven while you cook the rest.
• Beat the mascarpone, yogurt, vodka and icing sugar together with a whisk until smooth. To serve, stack the pancakes with the mascarpone mixture in between them, then finish with a final dollop on top. Drizzle over the coffee syrup, and top with the coffee beans or chocolate shavings.

COFFEE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix the instant coffee with 2 tablespoons of boiling water and set aside to cool.
• Sift the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl. Add the sugar and a pinch of salt.
• In separate bowl, use a wooden spoon to beat the egg, yoghurt, milk, butter and coffee until combined. Add to dry ingredients and stir gently to combine.
• Heat a non-stick frypan over medium heat and brush with some of the extra melted butter. Working in batches, add 1 tablespoon of batter to the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then turn and cook for a further 1 minute or until golden. Cover and keep warm while you repeat with remaining batter, brushing the pan with extra butter as needed.
• Serve the pancakes in stacks with breakfast fruits and extra yoghurt.
• Dust with icing sugar.
