If you’re a lover of all things cherry bakewell, you will love these cherry bakewell pancakes. I am a huge pancake fan as they are so easy and delicious to whip up. These are my favourite thick and fluffy American style pancakes made with almond extract, glace cherries, flaked almonds and a drizzle of icing. What’s not to love?!
My salted caramel pancakes are one of my most popular recipes, and I know you will love these cherry bakewell pancakes just as much! The great thing is that the pancake batter can be made ahead the day before, and you can also freeze any leftover pancakes.
For added flavour, toast the almonds for 5-7 minutes or so in the oven at 180C/160C Fan and sprinkle on the pancakes. With the glace cherries, make sure to wash them thoroughly and dry with kitchen paper before adding to the pancakes.
