Cook like a winner: Pancake dessert recipes

According to dessert chef Javier Burillo multi-use ingredients have been effective solutions to quick eats and culinary experiments for home chefs and bakers whose skills improved over the past year-and-a-half.

On that note, Javier Burillo shares a few excellent pancake dessert recipes for everyone to try out.

Pancake mix biscuits: Whether these biscuits are for dessert or snack time, people will be surprised at how easy these can be made with pancake mix. To make the mix a bit firm, lessen the water and include more butter. It's all right if it looks a bit dry. It can be molded into different shapes. Put the biscuits in the oven for about eight minutes and serve.

Funnel cakes: Many people remember funnel cakes from their childhood. Thankfully, this easy snack can be made from home with the help of a sandwich bag and confectioner's sugar. The secret to achieving that golden brown color and crunchy texture is in the frying. Before putting in the mix, people should make sure that the oil is good enough to make the batter toasty, Javier Burillo adds.

Banana bread: Another staple dessert, banana bread, is always a good and healthy idea. Put the pancake batter, butter, mashed bananas, nuts, and chocolate chips in a cake tray. For those who prefer their cake sweet, they can opt to add vanilla extract or sugar. With all the pancake mix options available, one can also turn this recipe into a gluten-free or whole wheat banana cake.
