Honestly there are so many different flavors that it might be hard to choose. I do recommend using Greek yogurt though as it is thicker and will not run out of the Pancake Taco when serving.
If you do not want to use yogurt you can also use whipped cream instead.
WHAT FRUIT IS BEST ON THESE PANCAKE TACOS?
This is where you can really personalize and use any of your favorite fruits or a mixture.
Some that we used included: strawberries, blueberries and kiwi. You can also use, pineapple, mango, banana, blackberries, raspberries, peaches, etc.
Just switch it up and see what fruit combinations that you like together and go from there.
I DON’T HAVE BUTTERMILK CAN I USE REGULAR MILK?
Yes if you do not have buttermilk you can use regular milk for the pancakes in this recipe.
We love buttermilk as it gives a nice richness in the flavor and texture. But it is not required for the pancakes to turn out.
HOW TO STORE:
I do not recommend storing assembled Pancake Tacos but storing everything separately until you are ready to serve.
The pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container where they will keep for up to 4-5 days.
You can also freeze the pancakes, place in a freezer safe container and they will kep for up to 3 months.
To defrost, remove to the refrigerator until thawed. Warm up in the microwave and then assemble your Pancake Tacos.
