Ingredients for Baileys Irish Cream Pancakes

  • Unsalted Butter
  • Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • Irish Cream
  • Cake Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Additional butter for cooking and serving
  • Maple Syrup

How to Make Baileys Irish Cream Pancakes

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, salt, and egg until well combined.
  2. Whisk in the milk and Baileys Irish Cream liqueur until thoroughly incorporated.
  3. Add the cake flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Gently spread the batter into a disc shape.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
  8. Serve the Baileys Irish Cream Pancakes immediately, warm, with butter and your favorite syrup.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
