Pancake cake with peanut butter and jam

Ingredients:

Pancakes

• 1 and 2/3 cups premium flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
• 0.5 tsp coarse salt
• 1 and 1/4 cups milk
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup jam or confiture, preferably grape, strawberry or blueberry

Peanut butter and maple syrup glaze

• 0.5 cup peanut butter, preferably crunchy
• 0.5 tbsp. maple syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 95°C (205°F). Line a baking sheet with two stacked kitchen towels and place it in the oven. This is where you'll place the finished pancakes to keep them warm.
2. Pancakes:
   
   In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, powdered sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, combine the milk, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and knead until a thick dough forms (don't try to break up all the small lumps). Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour 1/2 cup of batter into the skillet, spreading it into a 6-inch circle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake and the underside is golden brown, about 1 minute.
4. Flip the pancake and cook until set, about 45 seconds more. Transfer the pancake to a baking sheet in the oven between two kitchen towels. Repeat with the remaining batter to cook 5 more pancakes.
5. Glaze:
   
   Combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, and salt in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave. Microwave for about 1 minute, until the mixture is hot. Whisk vigorously until the glaze is smooth but still runny.
   
6. Pancake cake:
   
   Place 1 pancake on a plate and spread 3 tablespoons of jam evenly over it. Place another pancake on top, pressing gently to level and distribute the jam evenly. Spread 3 tablespoons of jam over the second pancake and top with a third. Repeat with the remaining pancakes and jam to make 1 large stack of 6 pancakes. Cut into 4 pieces and serve immediately, drizzled with warm glaze.
