Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Filling
- 1/2 cup Nutella
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, large egg, and melted butter until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Mix Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy and tender; some lumps are fine.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Pour Batter Base: Ladle approximately 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the hot skillet to form each pancake base, allowing it to spread naturally.
- Add Nutella Filling: Spoon a dollop of Nutella onto the center of the batter on the skillet. Be careful not to overload to prevent leaking while cooking.
- Top with Batter: Gently pour another 1/4 cup of batter over the Nutella to cover it completely, creating a stuffed pancake.
- Cook Pancakes: Let the pancake cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook the other side until golden brown and fully cooked through, another 2 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- Ensure the skillet is at the right temperature to avoid burning the pancakes before they are cooked through.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this can make the pancakes dense instead of fluffy.
- You can substitute milk with a plant-based alternative for a dairy-free option.
- For easier flipping, use a thin spatula and handle the pancakes gently to prevent breaking.
- Serve fresh as Nutella may become less gooey if pancakes cool down too much.
