Description

Crepe-like Danish pancakes are skillet-cooked, filled with ice cream and topped with fruit. These pancakes might seem like dessert, but if you want to eat them for breakfast, we won't tell!

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons plus 2-1/2 teaspoons sugar, divided
  • 3-3/4 cups vanilla ice cream
  • fresh blueberries and sliced strawberries

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk and butter. In a small bowl, mix flour and 2 tablespoons sugar; add to egg mixture and mix well. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour.
  2. Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir batter. Fill a 1/4-cup measure three-fourths with batter; pour into center of pan. Quickly lift, tilt and rotate pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn pancake and cook 15-20 seconds longer or until bottom is cooked. Remove to a wire rack. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon sugar.
  3. Repeat with remaining batter and sugar, greasing pan as needed. When cool, stack pancakes with pieces of waxed paper or paper towels. Top each pancake with 3 tablespoons ice cream. Roll up; top with berries. Serve immediately.
