Ingredients
  

Pancake Batter
  • 2 cups (192g) superfine blanched almond flour
  • 3 large eggs Room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) full-fat milk Or heavy cream
  • 1.5 tsp (7g) baking powder Gluten-free
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) sea salt
  • 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter Melted and cooled
Toppings
  • 1 square unsalted butter For topping
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh blueberries Whole
  • 4-5 slices fresh strawberries Thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup Amber grade
  • 1 tbsp (8g) powdered sugar For dusting

Equipment

  • 1 Non-stick Skillet Or a heavy-bottomed griddle.
  • 1 Fine-mesh Sieve For dusting powdered sugar.
  • 1 Offset Spatula Thin edge for easy flipping.

Instructions
 

Batter Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk the 3 eggs until light and frothy, approximately 1 minute.
  2. Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, milk, vanilla, and melted butter. Whisk until a thick, slightly textured batter forms. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Cooking Process
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and grease lightly with butter. A gentle sizzle is what you want.
  2. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook until edges look matte and set (3-4 mins). Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 mins until golden-brown and thick.
Assembly
  1. Stack four pancakes. Top with the butter square, scattered blueberries, and strawberry slices. Drizzle with maple syrup and finish with a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to ensure the pancakes don't crumble.
Always cook over medium-low heat to prevent the almond flour from burning before the center is set.
