For those who particularly enjoy a sweet breakfast of pancakes, there might be days when leaning towards a pre-mixed packet for support would be inevitable. However, what they lack most often is flavour, which can be improved upon in no time using these ideas.
Besides using whole milk or buttermilk to whisk the batter, add a dollop of sour cream or ricotta to enhance its richness.
Grating in some orange or lemon zest into your pancake batter adds a layer of freshness and zing, making it ideal to eat with fresh fruit.
Besides vanilla and cinnamon, experiment with flavours like almond, orange blossom, cardamom or even a little bit of dry ginger powder.
Enhancing the flavour of the dairy in your batter aside, malted milk powder offers a delicious 'umami' note into your pancake, giving it a sweet-salty contrast.
Add some frozen fruit to your pancake batter to give it juicy morsels that burst when you take a bite.
Boost the nutritional value of your pancakes by adding in delicious superfoods such as hemp seeds, cacao nibs, cranberries and chopped walnuts for added texture.
