Ingredients

For the Pancakes

  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

For the Filling

  • 1½ cups mixed berries, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • Chocolate sauce, to drizzle

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add milk, egg and melted butter and whisk until smooth.
  • Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour small circles of batter (about 3 - 4 inches wide). Cook 1 - 2 minutes per side until lightly golden.
  • While warm, drape pancakes over a rolling pin or fold gently into taco shapes and let cool slightly to hold their form.
  • In a bowl, toss chopped berries with honey or sugar. Set aside to macerate slightly.
  • Fill pancake tacos with berry fruit salad and top with whipped cream. Drizzle with chocolate sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

Taste & Texture

Soft, fluffy pancakes paired with juicy, slightly sweet berries and light, creamy whipped cream.

Storage, Freezing & Reheating

Fridge: These pancake tacos are best served fresh once assembled.
Freezer: Pancakes can be frozen for up to 1 month.
Reheat: Warm pancakes gently in a pan before shaping and filling.

Cooking Time and Temperature

Cook the pancakes over medium heat so they cook evenly without burning.
Small pancakes cook quickly and are easier to fold into taco shapes.

Serving Recommendations

Serve these pancake tacos immediately so the pancakes stay soft and the fruit stays fresh.
They pair nicely with extra berries, maple syrup, or a small bowl of yogurt on the side.

Recipe Variations and Substitutions

Different berry combinations work well in this recipe.
Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries all pair nicely with the pancakes.
You can also drizzle maple syrup or add extra chocolate sauce for additional sweetness.

Proper Storage Tips

Allow leftover pancakes to cool completely before storing.
Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Pancakes can also be frozen for up to 1 month and reheated before shaping and filling.

Pro Tips for Success

Keep pancakes around 3–4 inches wide so they fold easily.
Shape them while still warm so they hold their taco form.
Prepare the berry mixture just before assembling so the fruit stays fresh and juicy.
