Instructions to make Dalgona Coffee Pancakes:
- Prepare the Dalgona Coffee:
- In a bowl, combine instant coffee, sugar, and hot water.
- Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the mixture until it becomes thick and forms soft peaks. This may take about 5-7 minutes.
- Make the Pancake Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until the other side is golden brown.
- Assemble:
- Stack the pancakes on a plate.
- Spoon a dollop of the Dalgona coffee on top of each pancake stack.
- Drizzle with maple syrup and, if desired, top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
- Serve:
- Serve the Dalgona Coffee Pancakes immediately while the coffee is still creamy and the pancakes are warm.
