Serves
6-7 pancakes
Ingredients
- 10 - 14 tbsp Nutella
- 1 1/2 cups plain flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 4 tbsp sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla (optional)
- 1 tsp butter
- sliced strawberries (optional)
Preparations
1
Line a baking tray with stretch-tite or freeze-tite.
2
Dollop 1 1/2 to 2 tbsp of Nutella onto the baking tray and spread into a disc around 2 1/2" / 6cm in diameter and 1/5" / 1/2 cm thick. Repeat to make 7 discs.
3
Place the tray in the freezer until firm (around 1 to 1 1/2 hours). Keep the Nutella discs in the freezer until required (they soften quickly!!)
4
Place the Dry Ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine.
5
Make a well in the center and place the Wet Ingredients in the well. Whisk until combined and lump free (stop whisking as soon as it is smooth, don't over whisk).
6
Melt 1/2 tsp butter in a non stick fry pan over medium heat.
7
Take 1 Frozen Nutella Disc out of the freezer just before you start cooking.
8
Dollop 1/4 cup of batter into the fry pan. Working quickly, place 1 Frozen Nutella Disc in the middle of the batter, then top with batter to cover the Nutella disc.
9
When bubbles start appearing around the edges (around 2 minutes), lift up the edge and make sure the underside is golden. Then flip and cook until the other side is golden.
10
Repeat with remaining batter. Melt more butter in the pan after the 3rd or 4th pancake. You should be able to make 6-7 pancakes. Option to serve with strawberries or cream.
