Makes

Approximately 10–12 pancakes

Ingredients

Signature coffee pancakes

✓ 2 cups cake flour
✓ 2 tablespoons sugar
✓ 2 teaspoons baking powder
✓ ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
✓ Pinch of salt
✓ 2 large eggs
✓ 1 cup milk
✓ ½ cup strongly brewed Rescue Roast® Signature Blend, cooled
✓ 2 tablespoons melted butter
✓ 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
✓ Butter or oil for frying

Chocolate-coffee sauce

✓ 100 g dark or milk chocolate, chopped
✓ ½ cup fresh cream
✓ ¼ cup strongly brewed Rescue Roast® Signature Blend
✓ 1 tablespoon brown sugar
✓ Pinch of salt

Topping ideas

✓ Whipped cream
✓ Sliced banana or strawberries
✓ Grated chocolate
✓ Chocolate-covered coffee beans, optional
✓ Light dusting of cocoa powder

Method

  1. Sift the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a large mixing bowl.

  2. Stir in the sugar.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cooled Rescue Roast® Signature Blend, melted butter and vanilla essence.

  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.

  5. Stir gently until just combined. A few small lumps are perfectly fine.

  6. Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes.

  7. Heat a lightly greased frying pan over medium heat.

  8. Spoon approximately ¼ cup of batter into the pan for each pancake.

  9. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to set.

  10. Turn the pancake over and cook the other side until golden brown.

  11. Repeat until all the batter has been used.

  12. To prepare the sauce, place the chocolate, cream, brewed Signature Blend, brown sugar and salt in a small saucepan.

  13. Heat gently while stirring until the chocolate has melted and the sauce is smooth.

  14. Stack the warm pancakes and drizzle generously with the chocolate-coffee sauce.

  15. Finish with whipped cream, fresh fruit, grated chocolate or a light dusting of cocoa powder.

Rescue Roast® Coffee Tip

Allow the brewed Signature Blend to cool before adding it to the batter. Hot coffee can begin cooking the eggs and may affect the pancake texture.

Do not overmix the batter—gentle mixing and a short resting period will produce lighter, fluffier pancakes.
