Liechtensteiner Pfannkuchen are pancakes filled with compote and then topped with berries. It is a wonderful sweet treat and a lovely ending to our meal. This dish would also be fantastic for a breakfast treat as well as dessert. The batter is quick and easy to make. It is easiest to use a ladle to put the batter in the pan, that way you get the same size pancakes to make the layers. Of course you can use any flavor of compote you like best, I used raspberry preserve. Blueberries and strawberries straight from our International Cuisine garden were used for the topping. YUMMY!
