Mascarpone pancakes with red fruit compote

Fluffy, creamy and with a flavour of lemon and vanille: these mascarpone pancakes are a feast on a rainy Sunday morning. A sweet and sour berry compote is the perfect garnishing for these pancakes.

Since I have my snack baking machine, I make little pancakes or Dutch mini pancakes on a regular basis. Other surprising pancakes I published before are:

• Dutch mini buckwheatpancakes
• American ricotta pancakes

As usual, I am looking for new flavours and ingredients that surprise me. In this case, Chocolates & chai gave me the right inspiration. I had already used ricotta, but mascarpone is also something I really wanted to try. And then this compote of red fruits: just perfect!!!
