Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling:

    - In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and brewed coffee. Mix until smooth and well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.

      Make the Pancake Batter:

        - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

          - In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and coffee liqueur (if using).

            - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

              Cook the Pancakes:

                - Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

                  - Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

                    - Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

                      Prepare the Espresso Drizzle:

                        - In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brewed espresso and maple syrup. Simmer gently for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

                          Assemble the Tiramisu Pancakes:

                            - To serve, stack 2-3 pancakes on a plate. Spoon a generous amount of the mascarpone filling in between the pancake layers. Top with an additional pancake and drizzle with the espresso mixture. Sprinkle with cocoa powder if desired.

                              Serve and Enjoy:

                                - Serve warm and enjoy this delightful spin on a classic dessert for breakfast!
