Ingredients

  • 1 cup pancake mix
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup vanilla custard
  • ¼ cup strawberry jelly

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, whisk 1 cup pancake mix, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 egg until smooth; the batter should be lump-free and pourable.

  2. 2

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat; pour 1/4 cup batter to form a 4-inch round. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1 minute. Repeat with remaining batter to make 4 shells.

  4. 4

    Spread 2 tbsp vanilla custard on one shell, top with 1 tbsp strawberry jelly, and sandwich with another shell. Serve warm.
