Chilli Pancake Stack

Updated 18 June 2025 Published 2 March 2014 58 Comments

JUMP TO RECIPE
Chilli Pancake Stack

In association with Asda

The Chilli Pancake Stack is a delicious baked stack of coriander (cilantro)- flavoured pancakes layered with beef chilli, a layer of melted cheese, and jalapenos.

Chilli Pancake Stack

As a food blogger, I’m always challenging myself to come up with or try out new dishes, but it’s also nice to be challenged by someone else occasionally.

This week, I was challenged by Asda to come up with an exciting pancake recipe for Pancake Day using their new “mix-o-meter” as a starting point.

It tells you exactly the right number of ingredients for the number of people you want to serve pancakes!

Chilli Pancake Stack

I’ve been aware of layered pancake bakes for some time, but had never actually attempted one, so now was the moment to come up with my own!

I toyed with many ideas, but in the end I decided on a Chilli Pancake Stack with the pancakes flavoured with fresh coriander leaves for an extra kick of flavour.

Chilli Pancake Stack

Once my family spotted my Chilli Pancake Stack, they hovered around like baying wolves.

Not great for the concentration when you’re trying to take photos, so they were all banished until I was ready to serve!

I didn’t have to ask them what they thought of this dish as the compliments came thick and fast. “This is better than Chilli con Carne” and “you can make this again” were just 2 of the comments.

It was indeed lush, served with a dollop of sour cream and a mixed salad with some all-important avocado.

So I’d like to thank Asda for encouraging me to come up with a dish that I’ll be making again and again! If the family are happy, I’m happy!

Can you make Chilli Pancake Stack in Advance?

This pancake stack is worth making extra Chilli for. Chill or freeze chilli, thaw overnight and assemble on the day it’s needed.

The coriander pancakes can also be made in advance, frozen and then thawed in the fridge overnight.

Ingredients

For the pancakes

  • 125 g Plain flour
  • 2 large free-range eggs
  • 350 ml Semi-skimmed milk
  • 2 tablespoon Sunflower oil
  • 1 Pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoon Coriander leaves chopped

For the filling

  • 12 tablespoon Beef Chilli (heaped tablespoons)

Topping

  • 80 g Cheddar cheese grated
  • 6 Green pickled jalapeno slices

Instructions

  • To make the batter sieve the flour, make a well in the centre, add the eggs, salt and a little milk and whisk to make a thick batter slowly incorporating the flour from the side.
  • Whisk in the rest of the milk and 1 tbsp of the oil.
  • Allow to stand for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile grease a 24cm spring form cake tin and get a non-stick frying pan ready of the same size. (If you don’t have this size use a smaller tin and pan of equal size and just make more pancakes for a higher stack).
  • Once the pancake mixture has rested mix in the chopped coriander.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Pour the remaining tbsp of oil into frying pan, heat up and pour off excess into a small jug.
  • Pour enough mixture into pan to coat it and cook over a high heat for about 10 seconds easing the edges with a silicone flipper.
  • Turn the pancake and cook for a further 5 seconds.
  • Slide pancake onto a plate and repeat process until all the batter is used. You will probably get 6 pancakes but only need 5 (it’s good to have a margin of error)!
  • Once the pancakes are all made place one in the greased baking tin and spread 3 heaped tbsp of beef chilli on top.
  • Repeat with the next three pancakes and then finish the fifth pancake with a layer of grated cheddar and decorate with jalapeno slices.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes until the cheese has melted.
  • To serve, release the sides of the tin and slide onto a serving dish.
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a mixed salad.

Notes

This dish is great to assemble at the last minute as the pancakes and chilli can be made in advance (and even frozen) for a quick and easy meal.

    I’m looking forward to trying this but where can I find the Beef Chilli recipe you mention?
    I have my own chilli con carne but would like to try it with your filling to compare.

      Hi Paul, I either adapt this recipe but use kidney beans (I’d run our on the day I made the pancakes so you don’t need them as was good without) https://www.fabfood4all.co.uk/turkey-chilli-with-baked-beans/ or I’ve been know to use Lloyd Grossman Chilli sauce jar and add a tsp of coriander and cumin while the mince is frying.
