How to prepare Nutella Pancakes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 🥣
- 2 tablespoons sugar 🍬
- 1 tablespoon baking powder 🚰
- 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 1 cup milk 🥛
- 1 large egg 🥚
- 2 tablespoons melted butter 🧈
- 1/2 cup Nutella 🍫
- Oil or butter for cooking 🍳
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
- Gently fold in the Nutella until the batter swirls but is not fully mixed – you want to see those delicious swirls of chocolate!
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Repeat until all the batter is used up.
- Serve warm with extra Nutella drizzled on top and your favorite fruits or whipped cream. Enjoy! 🍓🍌
