Description
Fluffy golden pancakes with a warm chocolate hazelnut center that melts beautifully when cut. A decadent yet simple breakfast treat perfect for weekend brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate hazelnut spread
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, optional for dusting
Instructions
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease if needed.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop small spoonfuls of chocolate hazelnut spread onto a parchment lined tray and freeze for at least 30 minutes until firm.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet. Place one frozen chocolate disk in the center and cover with another tablespoon of batter, ensuring it is fully covered.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip carefully and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let rest briefly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- Freezing the chocolate portions prevents the filling from leaking.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid overbrowning before the center melts.
- Allow pancakes to rest briefly so the filling settles.
- Keep finished pancakes warm in a low oven while cooking remaining batches.
