How to make chocolate pancakes : ingredients
✱ Enough of our pancake batter recipe from scratch to feed however many people you have!
For the filling, per person :
✱ 1 banana
✱ 1 tablespoon melted chocolate or choc spread - we use Nutella for speed but you can equally use a block of chocolate which you will need to melt in a bowl placed on top of a pan of boiling water).
✱ 2 tablespoons skimmed milk
✱ 1 teaspoon crushed nuts to sprinkle (if liked)
✱ 1 teaspoon icing sugar to sprinkle (if liked)
How to make
✱ Make the pancake batter and leave to stand while making the sauce.
✱ Put the chocolate spread and milk together into a saucepan on a very low heat.
✱ Warm gently until the mixture melts together, stirring the milk in as it warms.
✱ If you like, you can just use the sauce as a dressing on the pancake. However, we find that very rich and like to add some fruit.
✱ Cut the banana into thin slices and layer onto the cooked batter.
✱ Drizzle the sauce on top and, if you like, sprinkle on the nuts and icing sugar.
✱ Eat this as a flat pancake - if you try to fold it, the filling will cause the pancake to break.
BUON APPETITO!
