Anytime Mascarpone Pancakes with Berry Compote

pancake ingredients:
1 c flour
1 t baking powder
½ t baking soda
1 T sugar
1 egg + 1 egg white
1/3 c mascarpone
1 c buttermilk
½ t vanilla
1 T lemon juice
lemon zest
sea salt
+ butter (clarified works even better)

compote ingredients:
1½ pints berry mix—blueberry, raspberry, blackberry
½ t cardamom
2 T sugar
1 T lemon juice 

pancake method:
sift together first four dry ingredients & set aside.
whisk the eggs with a large pinch of sea salt until frothy.
add mascarpone, buttermilk, vanilla, lemon juice & zest & whisk until smooth.
make a well in your dry mix & slowly add your wet ingredients.
stir to combine, but don’t overmix—some small lumps are just fine.

LET BATTER REST for at least 30 minutes!

Meanwhile, prepare the berry compote:
add berries, cardamom, sugar & lemon juice to a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
stir occasionally & cook the mixture until berries break down & juices thicken, approximately 30 minutes.

cooking:
heat your griddle/skillet over medium heat & brush butter on top. (if your butter quickly browns, your heat is too high. wipe off & start again.)
pour or ladle your batter onto the buttered surface.
when small bubbles appear all over the surface of your hotcake, flip & cook for about 2 minutes longer until lightly browned.
makes 8 pancakes

serve these fluffy golden circles of love with warm berry compote & maple syrup.
ENJOY!
