Ingredients
Milk
1 1/4 cups (Measure out and set aside.)
Baking Powder
2 teaspoons (Optional - can be added to enhance fluffiness.)
All-Purpose Flour or Maida Flour
1 1/2 cups (Sift before measuring for best results.)
Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon (Optional - can be added for extra leavening.)
Sugar
2 tablespoons (Use granulated sugar.)
Salt
1/2 teaspoon (Enhances flavor.)
Eggs
2 (Crack and beat lightly.)
Oil
2 tablespoons (Preferably vegetable oil or melted butter.)
Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon (Optional - for added flavor.)
Nutella
3 cups (Spread into circular shapes and freeze.)
Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of dry ingredients.
2
On a sheet of parchment paper or a flat surface, spoon Nutella in circular shapes the size of your desired pancakes. Freeze these Nutella discs until solid, approximately 30 minutes.
3
Once the Nutella is frozen, create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gradually add the milk. Stir gently until combined.
4
Add the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract (if using) to the mixture. Whisk until just combined; do not overmix—some lumps are okay.
5
Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. If the pan is not nonstick, add a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
6
Ladle a portion of the batter onto the hot pan, adjusting the size of the pancake based on your flipping skills. Start small if you are a beginner.
7
When bubbles begin to form on the surface of the pancake, carefully place a frozen Nutella disc on top, then cover it with a small ladle of pancake batter.
8
Flip the pancake once the edges appear set and the underside is golden brown. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until perfectly browned.
9
Repeat the process with the remaining batter and Nutella discs until all pancakes are cooked. Adjust milk consistency if necessary after the first pancake.
10
Serve warm, optionally topped with fresh fruits, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Enjoy your delicious Nutella-stuffed chocolate pancakes!
