Preparation

Step 1

Using electric mixer fitted with flat beater, beat mascarpone and lemon curd until fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Cover fillings, refrigerate. In bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt and zest. In small bowl, whisk egg yolks and buttermilk. Whisk into flour mixture; batter will be lumpy. Gently stir egg whites into batter in 2 additions.

Put 1/2 tsp. butter in each well of filled pancake pan. Heat over medium heat. Pour 1 T. batter into each well. Put 1/2 tsp. filling into center of each pancake; top with 1 T. batter. Cook until bottoms are golden and cripy; 3-5 minutes. Using 2 skewers, flip pancakes over; cook until golden and crispy about 3 minutes more. Transfer to plate. Repeat with remaining batter. Dust pancakes with confectioner's sugar.
