Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup jam or jelly of choice
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and the large egg until fully combined. Make sure the egg is broken up and incorporated into the buttermilk.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough. A few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or cooking spray if desired.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- After flipping the pancakes, use a spoon to create a small indentation in the center of each pancake. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of your chosen jam or jelly into the indentation. Allow the jam to warm slightly as the pancake finishes cooking.
- Once the pancakes are done, remove them from the skillet and keep them warm on a plate or in a low oven while you cook the remaining pancakes.
- To serve, stack the pancakes on plates and dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. You can also drizzle additional jam or jelly on top if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious Jam Jelly Donut Pancakes with a side of fresh fruit or whipped cream for an extra treat!
Tips
- Choose the Right Jam: Select a high-quality jam or jelly with good consistency. Avoid overly runny preserves that might make your pancakes soggy.
- Don't Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Lumpy batter is your friend - it ensures tender, fluffy pancakes!
- Temperature Matters: Use a medium heat setting to ensure even cooking. Too hot, and you'll burn the outside while the inside remains raw.
- Create the Perfect Pocket: Use the back of a spoon to create a gentle indentation for the jam after flipping the pancake. This helps the jam warm and integrate without leaking.
- Experiment with Flavors: Try different jam varieties like strawberry, raspberry, or even exotic flavors like passion fruit to keep things interesting.
- Keep Pancakes Warm: If cooking in batches, place finished pancakes in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F) to keep them warm and prevent them from getting cold.
- Presentation is Key: A light dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of extra jam can elevate your pancakes from good to Instagram-worthy!
