Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup diced peaches
- 1/4 cup Marsala wine
- 1/4 cup butter (for sauce)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk and melted butter until fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together, being careful not to overmix. Some small lumps are okay - do not stir until completely smooth.
- Carefully fold the diced fresh peaches into the pancake batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface and edges look slightly dry.
- Flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
- For the Marsala Rose Butter Sauce, melt 1/4 cup butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Add Marsala wine to the melted butter and gently simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the alcohol to reduce and flavors to meld.
- Optional: Add a few drops of rose water to the sauce for an elegant floral note.
- Plate the pancakes, drizzle generously with the Marsala Rose Butter Sauce, and garnish with additional fresh peach slices if desired.
Tips
- Use ripe, fresh peaches for the best flavor and texture. If out of season, frozen peaches can work well too.
- Do not overmix the pancake batter - a few small lumps are perfect for creating light, tender pancakes.
- Ensure your skillet is at medium heat before cooking. Too hot, and the pancakes will burn; too cool, and they won't develop a nice golden crust.
- The Marsala Rose Butter Sauce is delicate, so simmer gently and watch carefully to prevent burning.
- For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with fresh mint leaves or a light dusting of powdered sugar alongside the peach slices.
- If you don't have Marsala wine, you can substitute with a sweet sherry or port wine.
