Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces) mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure almond extract
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups buttermilk pancake mix (recommend: Krusteaz)
- 4 ounces almond paste, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Directions
Serving suggestion: maple syrup and fresh raspberries
In a food processor, combine the mascarpone, water, sugar, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Process until the mixture is smooth. Add the pancake mix and pulse until just combined. Add the almond paste and pulse once to incorporate.
Preheat a griddle or a large, nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Grease the griddle or skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter. Working in batches, pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle and cook for about 1 1/2 minutes each side until golden. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter.
Arrange the pancakes on a platter and serve with maple syrup and fresh raspberries.

excellent easy and simple, especially when the cupboards are bare! I made this recipe with 4 ounces goat cheese, Krusteaz waffle mix, vanilla, sugar and water! it turned out delicious! used a non stick pan no problems with burning. didnt even have syrup...served it with fresh strawberry jam, it was reminiscent of strawberry cheese cake! So unique and delicious!i!

No one in my house liked these very much. I followed directions, and they were very pretty but no one was crazy about the taste!

I am going to disagree about this recipe.
They do taste great, BUT they are almost impossible to cook without burning or ruining the shape of and without a TON of butter even on nonstick.
I used a very large le creuset skillet with butter and measured an exact quarter cup every time. No way they were anywhere near done on one side in 90 seconds.
In desperation, I got out my nonstick waffle maker and buttered it up, then for the second try I oiled it up.
Neither worked. The waffles came out in two pieces, one stuck to the top and one to the bottom no matter how long i cooked them. I wasted a lot of batter.
To top everything off, when I mixed the mascarpone and water in my Cuisinart, the watery liquid came out the middle. I'm tossing the two-month old Cuisinart out now.
This was a very expensive lesson.
Do not try this one at home unless you are a professional chef with a griddle.
