Bubble Tea Pancakes from Brekkie Cafe
View this post on Instagram
Brekkie Cafe’s feature this month is almost too pretty to eat. The bubble tea pancakes showcase the restaurant’s signature thick buttermilk pancakes, which are finished in the oven with angel food cake to make them fluffy and crispy on the outside. The pancakes are layered with house made ube jam and topped with black tea custard made with Earl Grey tea, sweet fruit bobas, ube white chocolate glaze and whipped cream.

The gluten-free sponge cake is soaked in cereal milk and layered with marshmallow fluff, raspberry jam and gluten-free Lucky Charms covered in cereal buttercream and topped with Lucky Charms marshmallows.

Pi Day (celebrating the mathematical constant pi, aka 3.14) is on March 14, so a pi-themed pie seems quite fitting. All three of Pie Junkie and Bakery’s locations in Mahogany, Spruce Cliff/Wildwood and Kensington will be adorning every single one of their pies with the Pi symbol on March 13 and 14. Some top flavours are banana toffee “banoffee” and classic apple.
