Marshmallow Pancake Stack with Blueberry Compote

This  marshmallow pancake stack is topped with bourbon blueberry compote and spiked syrup! Kent was surfing and discovered that Makers Mark had created some simply amazing recipes. Well you know me, let’s try it out and share the results.  Demonstrating once again all these amazing dishes are for real life people too.

This sweet breakfast treat would seem to be just as great for supper, dinner lunch or maybe even the morning after. In fact I think it was originally shared as the “Morning After” breakfast.   The key as always is planning and prepping.  For a morning after you will want to make everything he night before.

Morning After Marshmallow Pancake Stack

I am pretty sure we have never followed a recipe to a precise T.  Meaning we like to create a ” Larmond Street’ adaptation.  For today’s specialty we followed precisely the Syrup and Compote recipe but the pancakes not so much.  Kent has had a favourite pancake recipe that we always use.  In fact I may have shared it a few times already. Talk about going overboard,  our pancakes have Bailey’s in them so this is truly not for under 19 (or 21).

A rich decadent breakfast that you will love.  It will serve between 2-4 people, depending on how hungry  or hungover you are .  Prep time is 30 minutes but you can prepare the syrup and compote in advance cutting your time to making pancakes.  Presentation is everything so don’t create an assemble your own buffet.  Dazzle them with fully prepared stacks. Thanks to Go Bourbon  for the inspiration.

The Ingredients for the Blueberry Compote

This can be prepared the night before making the breakfast or brunch prep a breeze.

• 1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons Maker’s Mark Bourbon
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3 cups fresh blueberries (can be substituted with huckleberries)
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Ingredients for the Spiked Syrup

Similar to the compote this can be prepared in advance and stored in your fridge till you need.  This has a decent shelf liife so make extra and use it on your regular pancakes.  I tried it on the chocolate chip pancakes and it was still delicious

• 1 piece fresh orange peel, 1″x 3″, minced
