These chestnut pancakes offer a sophisticated twist on a classic breakfast staple, combining the natural, earthy sweetness of steamed chestnuts with a light and fluffy texture. The addition of coarsely chopped chestnuts into the batter provides a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the silky finish of the crème fraîche. Whether you prefer a savoury finish with fresh chives or a sweet-and-salty combination with a drizzle of maple syrup, this dish is an elegant choice for a weekend brunch.
Traditionally associated with autumn and winter flavours, this recipe uses shop-bought steamed chestnuts for year-round convenience. The use of rendered bacon fat to fry the pancakes ensures every bite is infused with a rich, smoky depth. High in flavour and simple to prepare, these pancakes are a comforting yet refined option for those looking to elevate their morning repertoire with minimal effort.
