Passion for Pancakes

Passionfruit is primed for breakfast and brunch stars, where its bright acidity can provide a welcome counterpoint to some of the more indulgent builds. Sweet toppings, flavored butters and rich custards and creams all benefit from passionfruit’s sharp, fruity high note.

Clinton St. Baking Company in New York demonstrates that interplay with its limited-edition Passionfruit & Chocolate Pancakes, featured during its annual February Pancake Month. Fluffy pancakes are layered with tart passionfruit curd, topped with chocolate chips, crowned with whipped cream and served with a side of passionfruit syrup—an indulgent build kept in check by the fruit’s assertive acidity.
