Cranberry Compote with Rosemary to serve (or any other fruit compote you like)
Prepare pancakes as per my foolproof recipe HERE. Put mascarpone, vanilla sugar and egg yolk into a bowl and mix together until smooth using hand blender or wooden spoon.
Spread generous tablespoon of mascarpone cream onto each pancake and fold in half and in half again to form a triangle shape.
Fry in butter (couple of minutes on each side) until warmed up and golden.
Serve warm with fruit compote!
Enjoy!
