Perfect, thick, and fluffy pancakes made with oat drink. Served with smooth cream cheese and sweet cherry jam.

Looking for the perfect weekend breakfast idea? These fluffy pancakes are an absolute hit! Golden, soft, and incredibly fragrant, these fluffy pancakes disappear from the plate in no time. We used an oat drink here, which gives the batter the right lightness and moisture, though your favorite drinkable yogurt would work just as well if you prefer a bit of pleasant acidity. The secret to perfect American-style pancakes lies in not overmixing the batter – small lumps of flour in the mixture will help your fluffy pancakes rise beautifully on a hot pan, becoming thick as clouds. The key to success and unique flavor also lies in the carefully selected toppings. Our recipe is wonderfully enriched by velvety cream cheese and juicy cherry jam. The creamy, slightly salty texture of the cheese perfectly balances the deep sweetness of the fruit jam, creating a perfectly balanced flavor composition. If you feel like it, you can add a touch of vanilla extract or cinnamon to the batter. Frying should always be done over medium heat. When small bubbles start to burst on the surface of the batter, it’s a sure sign that it’s time to flip the pancake over. Remember to use fresh ingredients at room temperature. Serve your fluffy pancakes proudly stacked in a tall tower, generously topped with a layer of cream cheese and sweet cherries. This dish will delight the whole family, providing plenty of energy for the challenges of the coming day. Enjoy your cooking!

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 200 ml Oat Drink
  • 150 g Wheat Flour
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 100 g Cream Cheese (about 4 tbsp)
  • 4 tbsp Cherry Jam

Instructions

  1. 1
    In a bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and optionally a pinch of salt.
  2. 2
    In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, add the oat drink and vegetable oil, and mix well.
  3. 3
    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a fork or whisk to quickly combine them. Do not overmix – a batter with small flour lumps is desirable and will ensure fluffiness.
  4. 4
    Heat a frying pan over medium heat. You can lightly grease it with a bit of oil or butter.
  5. 5
    Place portions of the batter onto the pan (about 2-3 tablespoons per pancake). Fry until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes and the edges start to look matte (about 2 minutes).
  6. 6
    Flip the pancakes over and fry for another minute until golden brown.
  7. 7
    Stack the finished pancakes. Spread cream cheese on top and pour over a generous amount of cherry jam.

Chef's Tips

  • For a perfectly round shape, pour the batter into one spot in the center of the pan and let it spread naturally.
  • You can pre-whip the cream cheese with a little vanilla sugar to give it the texture of a sweet cream.
