These light, golden pancakes are served warm with Kaviari Kristal® Caviar, whose firm grains and long almond finish bring depth and freshness to the buttery batter. The contrast between soft pancakes and chilled caviar creates a balanced, luxurious bite that is both simple and distinctive. Kaviari describes Kristal® caviar as firm and complex, with a lingering fresh-almond finish and occasional honeyed, floral notes.
Ingredients
- 125 g Kaviari Kristal® Caviar, chilled, for serving
- 135 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 130 ml milk
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled, plus extra for cooking
Directions
Prepare the pancake batter:
Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg, then stir in the melted butter. Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and fold gently with a fork or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are ideal.Rest the batter:
Leave the batter to rest for 5 minutes.Cook the pancakes:
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Add a ladleful of batter. When bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set, turn the pancake over and cook until both sides are golden and the centre is cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.Top with caviar and serve:
Keep the Kaviari Kristal® Caviar chilled until ready to serve. Top the warm pancakes with chilled caviar using a mother-of-pearl, horn or other non-metal spoon, then serve immediately.
