Ingredients
  

Pancake Shells
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 1.25 cups whole milk
  • 1 egg large
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling and Toppings
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blackberries washed and dried
  • 0.25 cup chocolate hazelnut spread or fudge sauce warmed slightly for drizzling

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowls
  • Non-stick skillet or griddle
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake, cooking until bubbles form (2-3 minutes), then flip and cook the other side until golden.
  5. As soon as pancakes are removed from the heat, gently fold them in half while warm to create a taco shape. Let them cool slightly in this folded position.
  6. Whip the cold heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and beat until stiff peaks form.
  7. Fill each cooled pancake shell generously with the whipped cream.
  8. Top the cream with sliced strawberries and blackberries.
  9. Drizzle warm chocolate hazelnut spread or fudge sauce over the top and serve immediately.

Notes

To help the pancakes hold their taco shape while cooling, rest them in a taco holder or folded aluminum foil.
