Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Nutella, for filling and topping
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray.
5. Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
7. Once all the pancakes are cooked, it’s time to assemble your Nutella-filled delights. Spread a generous amount of Nutella on one pancake, then top it with another pancake. Repeat until all pancakes are stacked.
8. For the final touch, drizzle some more Nutella on top of the pancake stack.
And voila! Your Nutella pancakes are ready to be devoured. Serve them warm for the best experience.
Tips and Variations:
- If you prefer a thinner batter, you can add a few tablespoons of milk to the mixture.
- Feel free to get creative with your fillings! Add sliced bananas, strawberries, or crushed nuts for an extra burst of flavor.
- To make these pancakes even more indulgent, serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- If you’re following a gluten-free diet, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour.
- Don’t underestimate the power of a good quality non-stick pan. It will make flipping pancakes a breeze.
