what is a charcuterie board?
A Classic Charcuterie Board has cured meats arranged on a platter with a variety of crackers, nuts, cheese, and jams.
Today we share the ULTIMATE breakfast pancake platter, or breakfast charcuterie board. Homemade fluffy pancakes with all the breakfast helpings, so beautiful once arranged and served.
Chef’s NOTE: When serving pancakes on a charcuterie board with the meats, arrange the toppings onto the platter before you prepare the pancakes. That way, once the pancakes and meats are cooked, you are ready to eat.

This pancake recipe will become a family favorite! Fluffy and airy pancakes that are so easy to perfect! With a charcuterie board, you are serving breakfast at a whole new level.
You can add your favorite pancake toppings, here are some ideas for a breakfast charcuterie board-
- Spreads- Nutella hazelnut spread or peanut butter.
- Eggs- Scrambled eggs or however you prefer your eggs served.
- Sauce- Blueberry sauce, or your favorite sauce.
- Nuts- Walnuts or pecans.
- Dairy- Whipped cream or yogurt.
- Butter- Unsalted butter slices at room temp.
- Syrup- Maple or classic syrup.
- Meats- Bacon, sausage links or ham.
- Fresh fruit- Strawberries, raspberries, bananas and blueberries.
Chef’s NOTE: For the most uniform and fluffiest pancakes, we highly recommend using a pancake mold like THIS one. The mold is inexpensive and does wonders for pancakes.
We also used a mini pancake pan (like THIS) for the mini pancakes. The kids loved how cute and fluffy they were. Use the same recipe just cook them a little longer and be sure to generously grease the pan.
how to make fluffy pancakes-
The batter is so easy to make if you use a blender (we use THIS one).
- Prepare pancake batter- In a blender, add the milk, butter, eggs, sugar, salt, flour and baking powder.
- Cook pancakes- To cook the pancakes, I highly recommend a mold. The pancakes come out perfect, uniform and so fluffy. Spoon the batter into the mold half full. Cook over medium, once pancakes rise and start to bubble and have holes, they are ready to be flipped.
Chef’s NOTE: The SECRET to the fluffiest and most delicious pancakes is to make sure you cook them over medium heat. High heat will burn the edges and you’ll have an uncooked center, while low heat will completely dry the pancakes out as they cook.
TIP: We used butter and oil to grease the pan. If you go with this method, clean off the pan before adding a new batch of pancakes so the butter doesn’t burn the pancakes.
I hope you give this gorgeous breakfast pancake board a try, especially for brunch with friends or family. The board is also a wonderful idea for breakfast around the holidays.
