These pancakes are versatile and can be enjoyed with various toppings. Try adding sliced bananas, a drizzle of maple syrup, or even a scoop of yogurt for a different twist. Whether served for a weekend brunch or a special occasion, these pancakes are sure to be a hit.

Ingredients

For the Pancakes

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup shredded cooked potato

For the Plum Compote

4 medium plums, pitted and chopped
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps

Prepare the Plum Compote

In a saucepan, combine chopped plums, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon.

Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the plums are soft and syrupy.

Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the Pancake Batter

In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then fold in the shredded potato.

Cook the Pancakes

Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Enjoy your fluffy shredded pancakes!

Serve warm for the best experience.

Tips for Perfect Pancakes

For the best results, make sure not to overmix the batter. It's okay if there are a few lumps; this will help keep the pancakes light and fluffy. Allowing the batter to rest for a few minutes before cooking can also enhance the texture.

When cooking, ensure your skillet is at the right temperature. If it's too hot, the pancakes may burn on the outside while remaining raw inside. A medium heat is ideal to achieve that perfect golden-brown color.

Storing Leftover Pancakes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast option.

For longer storage, pancakes can be frozen. Allow them to cool completely, then place parchment paper between each pancake before stacking and wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap. They can last in the freezer for up to two months.

Customizing Your Pancakes

Feel free to customize the pancakes by incorporating different ingredients. Add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or even spices like nutmeg can give a unique twist to the classic recipe. Experimenting with flavors can lead to discovering your personal favorite variation.

Using alternative flours, such as whole wheat or almond flour, can also change the nutritional profile of the pancakes. Just keep in mind that you may need to adjust the liquid content in the batter for optimal results.
