Ingredients

Pancake

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup whole or 2% milk

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon Cedar Ridge Bourbon

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Toppings

1/2 cup diced fruit (we used strawberries and blackberries)

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1/4 cup mascarpone

1/2 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon Cedar Ridge Bourbon

1 tablespoon whole or 2% milk 

Directions

Step 1

Put a 9 or 10 inch oven proof skillet into the cold oven, and preheat to 425 degrees.

Step 2

In a blender, add flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, bourbon, and salt.

Step 3

Blend until smooth and let the batter rest for 20-25 minutes. This allows the flour to absorb the liquid, and it will help you get that pretty puffed edge.

(While batter is resting, prep your toppings)

Step 4

Dice fruit.

Step 5

In a bowl, combine mascarpone, honey, bourbon and milk and whisk until smooth.

Step 6

After 20-25 minutes, use oven mitt to remove pan from oven. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the pan, being careful not to let the butter burn.

Step 7

Pour rested batter into pan. Be sure the batter is evenly spread.

Step 8

Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
