Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Filling
- 1/2 cup Nutella
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined to create the dry mix for the pancakes.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, large egg, and melted butter until smooth and well blended.
- Mix Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain fluffiness.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour Batter Base: Spoon 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake, spreading it slightly into a circle.
- Add Nutella Filling: Place a spoonful of Nutella in the center of the batter on the skillet, being careful to keep it from touching the edges.
- Cover Nutella: Carefully top the Nutella with another 1/4 cup of batter, covering it completely to encase the filling.
- Cook Pancakes: Let cook until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip the pancake gently and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve warm, with optional toppings like syrup or powdered sugar for added sweetness.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and fluffy.
- Use a non-stick skillet or lightly grease your cooking surface to prevent sticking.
- Cook on medium heat to ensure pancakes cook evenly without burning.
- For easier flipping, wait until bubbles form and edges are firm before turning.
- Can add fresh fruit or whipped cream as toppings for extra flavor.
