If you’re ever in the mood for a delicious and unique breakfast, you should definitely try these tres leches pancakes. This recipe is pretty simple to follow, and the end result is mouthwatering.
The pancakes are soft, fluffy, and soaked in a sweet milk mixture made with cream, evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk.
Tres leches pancakes go great with any toppings, but it’s best if they’re unsweetened. Less-sweet berries are best, such as raspberries, strawberries, or cherries.
Before serving, pour the sauce on top of the pancakes and wait until they’re absorbed. Top with berries and serve—it’s incredibly simple and delicious!
These pancakes are a fun spin on tres leches cake, which is popular in Central and South America. Whip these up whenever you have a taste for something sweet—you might like these even more than the dessert!

Carefully pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a whisk. As a result, you should get a thick smooth dough without lumps.
Preheat the pan and pour a little dough on a hot, dry surface. Flip the pancake as soon as bubbles appear on its surface. On the other side, fry for another two minutes.
