Method
- Mix 250g self-raising four with 1½ tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt. Dissolve 1½ tbsp instant espresso powder in 1 tbsp boiling water, then whisk in 30g melted butter, 2 large eggs and 275ml milk. Whisk into the flour mixture to give a thick, mostly smooth batter (don’t overmix).
- Heat a nonstick frying pan over a low-medium heat and spray with vegetable oil spray. In batches, spoon 1 heaped tbsp batter per pancake into the pan. Cook for 2-3 mins until bubbling. Flip and cook for 1-2 mins until golden. Repeat for 12 pancakes, spraying the pan with oil between each batch.
- Divide between plates. Meanwhile, whip 80ml whipping cream to stiff peaks. Whisk in 120g mascarpone, 60g sieved icing sugar and 4 tsp coffee liqueur (or cooled espresso) until thick. Spoon over the pancake stacks. Drizzle with ½-1 tbsp coffee liqueur, to taste, and grate over a little dark chocolate, if you like, to serve.
