Caribbean pancakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. There are many different ways to make Caribbean pancakes, but they all share a few common ingredients and techniques. The most essential ingredients for Caribbean pancakes are flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, eggs, milk, and oil. Some recipes also call for additional ingredients like spices, fruits, or vegetables. The basic method for making Caribbean pancakes is to mix together the dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Pour the batter onto a hot greased griddle or skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Serve Caribbean pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

CARIBBEAN PANCAKES

My son and I like to make different flavored pancakes. This recipe was created from ingredients found in the pantry and it's often requested by the rest of the family as it's considered the best pancakes we have ever made. The caramelized marshmallows and white chocolate chips are what makes these great! Serve with whipped cream.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups complete pancake mix (such as Aunt Jemima®)
1 ½ cups water
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon banana extract
1 cup mini marshmallows
½ cup white chocolate chips, or more to taste
½ cup coconut flakes, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Combine pancake mix, water, vanilla, and banana extract in a large bowl. Stir just until large lumps disappear; do not overmix. Let stand until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the griddle; sprinkle a few marshmallows, white chocolate chips, and coconut flakes on top. Cook until bubbles form, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until edges are dry and bottom is golden brown; marshmallows and chocolate chips will melt and caramelize into the pancake. Repeat with remaining batter and toppings.

SAVORY CARIBBEAN-INSPIRED SWEET POTATO CAKES



Savory Caribbean-Inspired Sweet Potato Cakes image

This recipe is inspired by fried buttercup squash patties that I had at the best Caribbean restaurant in town! Enjoy the complex and satisfying mix of garlic and chili pepper, with just a tinge of sweetness. These are great for appetizers, a light lunch with salad, or even for brunch! The sweet potatoes can be replaced with a winter squash, such as buttercup. Serve them warm, plain, or topped with maple syrup or a fruit chutney.

Time 53m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 fresh jalapeno chile, seeded and finely chopped
3 green onions with tops, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon brown sugar
¼ teaspoon allspice
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Place the sweet potatoes in a pan, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with fork, about 10 minutes. Drain, place the potatoes in a mixing bowl, and mash.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the jalapeno pepper, green onions, and garlic. Cook and stir until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir the vegetables, brown sugar, and allspice into the mashed sweet potatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Form the sweet potato mixture into 12 slightly flattened cakes about 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter using your hands or large spoons. Place on a plate.
  • Heat 1/4 cup canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the sweet potato cakes in the skillet, four at a time, and cook, turning once, until golden brown on each side, 6 to 8 minutes. Add more oil if needed.
