Start your morning with these indulgent chocolate pancakes. Top with cream and berries, if you like – they’re also great for dessert.
Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 20 mins
Difficulty: Easy
Serves: 4-6 (Makes 16 pancakes)
INGREDIENTS
225g self-raising flour
50g cocoa powder, sieved
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp caster sugar
2 large eggs
400ml whole milk
100g dark chocolate chips
1 tbsp vegetable oil
50g unsalted butter, cubed
To serve
300ml double cream
2 tbsp icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla paste
mixed berries (optional)
maple syrup (optional)
METHOD
- Tip the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and sugar into a large bowl with a small pinch of salt. Add the eggs and whisk until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk until you have a smooth batter, then mix in the chocolate chips.
- Heat a splash of the oil and a little of the butter in a non-stick frying pan until sizzling. Cook the pancakes, using 2 tbsp batter for each, for 2 mins until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip and cook for 2 mins more (you’ll need to do this in batches). Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven while you cook.
- To serve, whip the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla until thick. Top the pancakes with the whipped cream, berries and maple syrup, if using.
