Jelly Donut Pancakes

Hi, Maddie here -I’m the youngest member of the “Life is a Party” family and I love to bake.  Today I’m taking over the blog for my mom, and  I’m going to be sharing an amazing recipe for Jelly Donut Pancakes.

I make these pancakes quite often on school mornings. I’ll get up earlier than the rest of my family and make them -I love to bake in a quiet house and they love to wake up to  warm, fluffy pancakes for breakfast.

These pancakes are stuffed with strawberry jelly and when you cut into them it comes oozing out. You might be asking yourself “how do they get stuffed?” It’s a very simple technique much easier than you think.

When you’re cooking the pancakes you start with a regular spoonful of pancake batter.

Then add a spoon of strawberry jelly to the centre. You then cover it up with more batter on top of the jelly and when it is cooked flip it over just like a regular pancake.

When eating the pancakes I would suggest cutting them like a pizza so that you get a bit of jam in every bite.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 3 tbsp butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• strawberry jam
• icing sugar

Instructions

1. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
2. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients -the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla.
3. Combine the dry and wet ingredients and mix, but don't over mix. A few lumps are fine.
4. Spoon batter onto a hot griddle to cook. Add a spoonful of strawberry jam, and then top with additional batter to cover.
5. Cook on one side until small bubbles appear, then flip over and cook on the other side until golden brown.
6. Sprinkle finished pancakes with icing sugar and serve warm. Enjoy.

We’ve used strawberry jam for these pancakes today, but you can use whatever jam is your favourite.  We also love them with raspberry jam.

These really are the perfect weekend treat.  Your family will love them!

With a stack of Jelly Donut Pancakes, life really is a party!
