Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Baking Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4 (approximately 8 pancakes)
Ingredients
For the pancakes:
- 500 ml cold sweet milk
- 2 fresh egg yolks
- 1 packet of baking powder (approximately 10 g)
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar (or 1 teaspoon of regular sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Flour (approximately 200 g, adjust the amount to achieve a thicker consistency similar to that of sour cream)
- Oil or butter for frying
For the topping:
- Preferred ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, fruit, etc.)
- Chocolate or caramel sauce (optional, for extra flavor)
Preparing Pancakes with Ice Cream
1. Preparing the Mixture:
In a large bowl, add the cold milk and egg yolks. Whisk well with a whisk or fork until the mixture is smooth. Then, add the vanilla sugar, vanilla extract, and baking powder. Mix again to combine the ingredients.
2. Adding the Flour:
Start adding the flour gradually, mixing constantly. A good idea is to add the flour in small portions to avoid lumps. The mixture should be thicker than regular pancake batter, similar to sour cream. If necessary, adjust the amount of flour, being careful not to make it too dense.
3. Frying the Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil or butter to grease the skillet. Pour a ladle of the mixture into the skillet and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface. Then, flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Continue this process until all the mixture is used.
4. Serving:
Place each pancake on a plate and add a generous scoop of ice cream on top. For extra flavor, you can drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce. If you like, you can decorate with fresh fruits, nuts, or even whipped cream.
Practical Tips
- Choosing Ice Cream: Choose a quality ice cream, preferably with natural ingredients. Vanilla or chocolate ice cream pairs excellently, but feel free to experiment with your favorite flavors.
- Temperature Control: Make sure the skillet is well heated before adding the pancakes. A skillet that is too cold will make the pancakes soft and sticky.
- Flour: Wheat flour is ideal, but you can also experiment with whole wheat or gluten-free flour for a healthier option.
- Variations: You can add chocolate chips or berries to the mixture for an even subtler taste. You can also make cocoa-flavored pancakes to turn them into your favorite treat.
Nutritional Benefits
These pancakes are a good source of carbohydrates and, thanks to the ice cream, can provide calcium and protein. If you choose lower sugar ingredients and low-fat ice cream, you can create a healthier dessert. Additionally, you can adapt the recipe to fit your diet by using plant-based milk or natural sweeteners.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I substitute the milk with something else? Yes, you can use plant-based milk, such as almond or soy milk, for a vegan option.
- What other toppings can I use? Fresh fruits, roasted nuts, maple syrup, or even Greek yogurt are excellent options.
- How can I store the pancakes? If you have leftover pancakes, you can store them in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days. You can quickly reheat them in a skillet or microwave before serving.

Pancakes with ice cream pair perfectly with a flavorful coffee or a fruit tea for an energizing breakfast. You can also host a dessert night, offering various types of ice cream and toppings so everyone can customize their pancakes.
