These pancakes contain a luxurious filling of sweet-tart Meyer lemon curd blended with mascarpone, a soft fresh Italian cheese made from cream.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup Meyer lemon curd
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 1/2 Tbs. granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- Zest of 1/2 lemon
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
- 7 Tbs. unsalted butter, melted
- Confectioners' sugar for dusting
Directions:
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat together the mascarpone and lemon curd until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Cover the filling and refrigerate until ready to use.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt and lemon zest. In a small bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks, then whisk in the buttermilk. Whisk the yolk mixture into the flour mixture until well combined; the batter will be lumpy.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff but not dry peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the egg whites into the batter in 2 additions.
Put 1/2 tsp. butter in each well of a filled-pancake pan. Set over medium heat and heat until the butter begins to bubble. Pour 1 Tbs. batter into each well. Put 1/2 tsp. lemon-mascarpone filling into the center of each pancake and top with 1 Tbs. batter. Cook until the bottoms are golden and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Using 2 skewers, flip the pancakes over and cook until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the pancakes to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Dust the pancakes with confectioners' sugar and serve warm. Makes about 40.

So Good the Teens Asked for the Recipe
I served lemon filled pancakes to my son's friends when he was a senior in high school. They were such a hit that the teens (male and female) asked me for the recipe. I pointed out that they'd need an ebelskiver pan and they still insisted on getting the recipe!
The lemon curd is easily substituted with your favorite jam.
