This simple Peruvian pancakes recipe calls for just 3 basic ingredients, plus some butter or oil for frying & any toppings you may want to add. We always added bananas, but my favorite was strawberry slices & some cacao nibs with our simple chocolate dipping sauce.

About this recipe
High Altitude: Even though I was living in a city at a high altitude (~9000 feet), the proportions for this stove top recipe shouldn't need to change at any other altitude, though your pancakes may cook a touch faster than mine.
Personal Goal of Mine: One of my more mundane goals for this year was to memorize a pancake recipe - a much easier feat than sneaking into Incan ruins. While working in the kitchen at the Chocolate Museum in Ollantaytambo, I found myself with the perfect opportunity to memorize such a recipe. Another favorite stovetop recipe was our arroz con leche.

How to make 3 ingredient pancakes: step-by-step instructions
Step 1. To make your pancakes, melt a tablespoon of butter on medium-low heat on the stove top.

Step 2. While it melts mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, whisking for about one minute & adding more milk if needed to reach your ideal consistency (if you're new to making pancakes, just follow the original proportions).

Step 3. Pour your batter into three cakes on top of the pan; this is when you should add your fruit or spices on top. Cook them until small bubbles form on top of each pancake, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4. Flip them over with a spatula and cook on the other side for two more minutes, and then plate & serve. I recommend serving with a side of maple syrup or simple chocolate sauce (cocoa powder thinned with water).
Recipe notes & tips
Toppings: you can put almost anything in these, but I recommend adding banana slices or any other fruit to the top of the cakes once they're in the pan, and mix anything small or powdered directly into the batter.
