A bit of history
Pancakes are a delicacy with a long history, rooted in various cultures and culinary traditions. Whether served with maple syrup, fresh fruits, or jam, pancakes have been loved by generations. Adding raspberries gives them a touch of freshness and a slightly tart flavor, perfect for balancing sweetness.

Preparing the pancakes - Step by step

1. Preparing the cream
Start by whipping the liquid cream in a bowl, but be careful not to over-whip it. You want to achieve a fluffy consistency that holds, but doesn't turn into butter. Once finished, place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill.

2. Preparing the pancake batter
In another bowl, crack the egg and add the flour. Begin to mix gently, then gradually add the milk. Continue mixing to avoid lumps. It's important to achieve a smooth and fluid batter, which will become the base of your pancakes.

3. Adding the baking powder
Once the batter is smooth, add the baking powder. This will help the pancakes rise and become fluffy. Mix again, ensuring the baking powder is well incorporated.

4. Heating the pan
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add a splash of sunflower oil to prevent the pancakes from sticking. It's important that the pan is well heated before adding the batter so that the pancakes have a nice crust.

5. Frying the pancakes
Use a silicone mold or a ladle to pour the batter into the pan. Add a few pieces of raspberries on top of the batter, being careful not to bury them completely. When you see bubbles forming on the surface of the pancake (about 2-3 minutes), it's time to flip the pancake with a spatula. Let it fry on the other side for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes golden and fluffy.

6. Repeat for all pancakes
Continue this process with the remaining batter, ensuring the pan is well greased and heated for each pancake. You can play with the amount of raspberries, adding more or less depending on your preferences.

Serving the pancakes
For a beautiful presentation, arrange the pancakes on a plate, dusting them with powdered sugar for an attractive look. Pair them with a glass of fresh cream and a simple raspberry sauce – mash the raspberries with a fork and serve alongside the pancakes. This combination not only looks good but also offers a fantastic taste!

Useful tips
- Use fresh raspberries for a more intense flavor, but frozen raspberries are also perfect, especially in the colder season.
- If you want to add a hint of flavor, you can incorporate a little vanilla extract into the batter.
- These pancakes pair perfectly with maple syrup, honey, or even a chocolate sauce for a sweet indulgence.
- Instead of raspberries, you can experiment with other berries, such as blueberries or blackberries.

Nutritional benefits
These raspberry pancakes are not only delicious but also nutritious! Raspberries are an excellent source of vitamins and antioxidants, with low calories and a low glycemic index. A serving of pancakes can contain about 300-350 calories, depending on the amount of cream and sugar used.
