Ingredients

Scale

For the Pancakes:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • Butter or oil, for the griddle

For the Raspberry Coulis:

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For Garnish:

  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh raspberries
  • Crushed walnuts

Instructions

  • Make the Pancake Batter:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
    • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Stir into the dry ingredients until just moistened. Fold in the grated carrots.
  • Cook the Pancakes:
    • Heat a buttered griddle or skillet over medium heat. Drop the batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto the griddle.
    • Cook until bubbles form on the surface and burst, then flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on both sides.
  • Make the Raspberry Coulis:
    • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until the raspberries break down into a sauce, about 5-7 minutes. Use a spoon to mash them as they cook.
  • Serve:
    • Stack the pancakes on serving plates and drizzle with the raspberry coulis. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh raspberries, and a sprinkle of crushed walnuts.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of ground cloves or allspice to the pancake batter.
  • Make sure the griddle is properly heated before adding the batter to ensure even cooking.
