Skinny, because I can't flip the other kind...lol!
.
My friends think I'm lucky that frosted cakes or cream and sugar decorations don't tempt my fancy. Though I like to spend time admiring those kinds of edible works of art, I can't seem to cajole myself to eat more than a bite of them, I like 'em plain.

But Mascarpone is another story :) I like to keep a container of Mascarpone cheese with me at all times, if possible ;) It is something that I enjoy, and yes I know it is 75% fat or something like that :) Purists may scoff at my use of Mascarpone, but I'll let you in on a food secret of mine, after all, my blog, my rules ;) I like to have blob of mascarpone with some sugar as my quick shrikhand fix....lol! I find it too irresistible :)
In this recipe I've mixed up mascarpone with some sugar and ground walnuts.......trust me on this one, try it and lemme' know ;).

thanks ti!
do try, enjoy.........
thanks kalva!
yeah, it is fun to conjure up such yummy combinations :)
i hear ya abou mascarpone. try mkascarpone with bittersweet chocolate (melted) equal parts. it makes great cake frosting.
I'm not good in resisting sweets or high calorie foods. Now I've fallen a victim to your pancakes with that mascarpone. Looks very very delicious.
Mascarpone with sugar was my secret for srikhand as well!!
Great combo with banana pancakes
heh heh, i know what you mean, but my worst way of having mascarpone is whipped with some sort of alcohol, preferably Amaretto and the likes! ;-)
Noel would definitely love these pancakes!! They look so delicous!! and hey its ok once in a while in indulge into my favs!!
mascarpone cheese? hmm. dont know if i have tasted it at all.. pancakes look lovely!
Love your pancakes. Look so filling & awesome
Banana, walnut powder and cardamom - lovely. Mascarpone tastes like ricotta cream cheese to me. I like a spoonful drizzled with honey, just enough to feel indulged w/out being reckless. Of course, I do enjoy being reckless, too. : )
these look delicious and no eggs in them...yummy! btw..love ur lawn..green and trimmed..kya..abhi tak no snow for u guys!!
mascarpone and chocolate has to be my favourite (i've never made anything with mascarpone myself though)
Richa, the kids demand for banana pan cakes almost every weekend..they love it drizzled with honey...as for the mascarpone, I hear you...let you in on a secret, I too indulge in spoonfuls of it...just yesterday, I topped my bread with a great dollop of it and gorged on it :-)...some things are simply irresistable :-D
thanks bee! hmmm now that's something i'll try :)
thanks kribha! yup, some things are far too irrestible to miss :)
thanks coffee! now now, looks like i've plenty company in this matter of great importance :)

wonderful pancakessss looks so delecioussssss that slight melting chesse makes mouth watering
Nice pancakes, Richa! I like the topping too. I too use mascarpone cheese a lot. My fav way to use it is along with fruits and with some roasted nuts sprinkled on the top. :-)I have a recipe on my blog if u are interested...
This one looks delicious!!!!! Always on the look out for eggless recipes.. thanx! :)
yum! Pancakes look delightful...'aamchya hyanna' nakki aavdel! :)
Mascarpone srikhand...must try it sometime...i don't see why it would not taste good :)
Sometimes we just stuff some mascarpone in dates and eat them as dessert (my hubby's idea)...its simple & rich!
Ooh the pancakes are lovely and banana walnut pancakes are something I like and make often. However, this mascarpone cheese topping is too good. Great idea Richa. I just make tiramisu everytime i lay my hand on this.. next time shall consult with you. :)
Sorry about commenting so late. I haven't been able to see FBD.
I'm not tempted either but I have to say that these pancakes have a great pull to them :)
Oh, Richa! Even without the *rich* marscapone topping, those pancakes sing! Absolutely yummy in every way. And they look beautiful with the great outdoors backdrop :)
thanks sagari!
thanks tbc! will check out ur recipe :)
thanks ramya! do try, yeah i wanted to make an eggless pancake and this worked well :)
thanks tee!
tuzhi idea avadli, nakki try kareen :)
thanks laav! yup tiramisu comes to mind when u think of mascarpone, but it is really versatile :) can use it so often :)
and don't worry about late commenting yaar, no big deal! enjoy sweetie....
thanks cynthia! so i succeeded in tempting you :)
thanks linda! yup, i too love the backdrop, though it is no longer possible to sit out there in this weather :( gotta' wait a while before that can be done :)
Hi Richa ,
I want to tell you that your blog is very beautiful, and I am one of your readers.

Mmm ... the walnut mascarpone topping looks really decadent. I'm tempted to try with a dash of liqueur - maybe amaretto?
so wholesome pancake,richa. With all those ingredients in it..sure is a winner :) Happy holidays !
Great use of this cheese. I am dying to get this cheese in india to make the famous tiramisu, i am sure i will go steal it from the 5 star hotel.
Hey btw, if you noticed both of us posted similar pankes :) at the same time. What like minded thinking. What plan for new years? Any cocktail recipes ahead?
the melted topping looks so yummy!
Not a big fan of pancakes but recipe and picture looks great.
Your pancakes look great - and no eggs too. They are really tempting. Ganesha's blessings for a happy new year and holiday season.
Hey Richa, just popped in to wish you Fabulous New Year ahead (in case I don't get to it later).
OMG that is SO SO SO divine!! I'm making this!
Hey Richa , Happy new year to you and your family.
In fact walnuts are dry fruits in both the botanical and culinary sense. :) thanks for leaving the link Richa. This is indeed a very good recipe with "dry fruit" as the star.
loved that you used the mascarpone as a topping! so creative!
