Instructions for Nutella Pancakes

Step 1: The first step is to take a large bowl and add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to it, then whisk it all together well.

Step 2: Next, melt the butter either in the microwave or on the stove. Then take a separate medium bowl and beat the egg yolk with a hand mixer or food processor and mix the buttermilk and melted butter into it.

Note: If you want the version where you’re adding Nutella to the batter for the Nutella-y taste, microwave it in a microwave-safe bowl for about 20-30 seconds to make it easier to mix – then add it to the wet ingredients in step 2. 

Step 3: Pour the wet mix from step 2 into the large bowl with the flour and stir it until it’s all well combined, just make sure to not overmix it – it’s okay if there are a few lumps!

Tip: If you have time, let the batter rest for 20-30 minutes, this will give you a creamier batter.

Step 4: Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. 

Step 5: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the hot pan and cook it until it forms bubbles on the surface, then flip it and cook until it’s golden brown on both sides.

Step 6: Repeat this until you’ve finished the batter.

Lastly, add Nutella and any other toppings on top and enjoy while they’re warm!

Instructions for Nutella Stuffed Pancakes

The secret is to freeze a bit of Nutella and add it when you’re making the pancakes! Let me show you how!

Step 1: Start by taking a baking tray of some sort and placing parchment paper on it (see-through foil works too!) – then take a big spoonful of Nutella and place it on the covered tray. Here, you want to spread it to small disks of Nutella to make it either to add them to the pancakes. 

Once done, place it in the freezer for about 1-2 hours, you want the Nutella to be hard and easy to pick up like chocolate. 

Step 2: For the batter, you’re doing the exact same steps as above, but here again the short form of it: Take a large bowl and place all dry ingredients, such as flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt to it before you mix it all well.

Step 3: Here, you’re mixing the wet ingredients, so: take a separate medium bowl and beat an egg before you add melted butter and buttermilk to it. 

Step 4: Mix the wet ingredients from step 3 into the dry ingredients from step 2 and whisk it all, don’t worry about a few lumps in it. 

Step 5: Heat a pan and grease it with butter or oil – now you need to act quickly and take your frozen disc of Nutella out of the freezer. Place about half of your 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and place the Nutella disk on top quickly, then add the other half of your 1/4 cup batter.

Step 6: Flip the pancake once it starts showing bubbles at the top (~ 2 minutes), before you flip it though, double check that it’s golden brown on the button.

Step 7: Continue doing this until you run out of batter – enjoy hot with your favorite toppings!
