Our Harry Potter movie weekend has arrived again and we are making butterbeer and butterbeer pancakes. There’s nothing quite like the sweet, buttery goodness of butterbeer; so we always look forward to making all the butterbeer things we can during our Harry Potter Movie Marathon weekend.
Harry Potter Inspired Butterbeer Pancakes
These butterbeer pancakes are a bit of a labor of love, but they are definitely worth it. They’re rich, buttery and sweet. Alone, they may not seem to be the most standout pancake, but add the whipped cream and butterbeer syrup and you’ve got a decadent and delicious stack of pancakes.
What do you need for Butterbeer Pancakes?
To make all three components of these Harry Potter Pancakes, you’ll need:
- Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Mix (or pancake mix of your choice)
- Butterscotch pudding mix
- Caramel Coffee Creamer
- Butter Extract, or if you can’t find any, vanilla extract will work too
- Brown Sugar
- Butter
- Heavy Whipping Cream
- Caster or super fine sugar
- Milk of choice
- Gold Sprinkles
To make Butterbeer Pancakes
These pancakes are super simple and take just a few minutes to whip up. For the pancakes, you’ll need the Kodiak Cakes Mix, caramel creamer and water. Just add 1 c. mix with 1/2 c. water and 1/2 c. caramel coffee creamer. Cook on medium on griddle or frying pan. 2-3 mins each side or until golden brown.
To make Butterbeer Whipped Cream
For the butterbeer whipped cream, to the bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment , add 1 c. heavy whipping cream, 3 TBSP butterscotch pudding mix and 2 TBSP caster sugar. If you don’t have a stand mixer, a regular handheld mixer will work too! Beat until fluffy and stiff peaks form. Try not to overmix!
To make Butterbeer Syrup
The most complicated part of this recipe is this butterbeer syrup. But it is definitely worth it! In a medium saucepan, add brown sugar, butter and milk. Stir until combined and warm until butter is melted and sugar dissolved. Once dissolved, add in baking soda. The mixture will get frothy. After 1-2 mins, remove from heat and add in butter extract. Enjoy hot!
