2/3 cup all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup half and half
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Topping

1 1/2-pint basket raspberries
1 1/2-pint basket blackberries
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
Unsalted butter, melted

Preparation

  1. For pancakes:

    Step 1

    Blend eggs and 1/3 cup milk in processor until smooth. Add flour, ground cardamom and salt and process until mixture is thick and smooth. WIth machine running, add remaining 2/3 cup milk, 1/3 cup half and half and 3 tablespoons melted butter and mix batter until smooth. (Pancake batter can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover tightly and refrigerate.)

Working in batches, add batter to skillet, using 1 tablespoonful for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to platter in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing with more butter as needed.

    Step 4

    Place pancakes on plates. Spoon berry topping over and serve.
