What You’ll Need
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Nutella (desired amount)
- Vegetable oil or cooking spray
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, milk, egg, and melted butter together until well combined.
3. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the cooking surface with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
6. Repeat the process until all the batter is used, keeping the cooked pancakes warm on a plate covered with foil.
7. Once all the pancakes are cooked, it’s time to add the Nutella! Spread a desired amount of Nutella on each pancake, either by drizzling it or spreading it like a sandwich.
8. Serve the Nutella pancakes warm and enjoy! You can also top them with fresh berries, powdered sugar, or whipped cream for extra deliciousness.
Tips and Variations
- For a richer flavor, try using chocolate or hazelnut milk instead of regular milk in the pancake batter.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Feel free to experiment with different fillings or toppings. Sliced bananas, strawberries, or chopped nuts work well with Nutella pancakes.
- If you prefer thinner pancakes, you can add a bit more milk to the batter.
- Make sure to adjust the heat as needed to prevent the pancakes from burning. Medium heat usually works well, but every stove is different.
