These Drop Pancakes are inspired by Ukranian style pancakes called Syrniki. They are great with sweet or savoury toppings so perfect for a brunch or breakfast feast.
Alongside tasting delicious, the pancake batter can be prepped overnight and then freshly fried come morning time.
I topped mine with a mixed berry compote made from frozen berries with yoghurt for the sweet edition and bacon, slow roasted tomatoes and rocket for the savoury version. I don’t think you could go wrong with any kind of a pancake topping.
