Fluffy pancakes stacked with warm chocolate-hazelnut spread melting between the layers. Breakfast or dessert, your call.

Ingredients

• 80 g Flour (all-purpose)
• 100 ml Milk (whole)
• Egg × 1
• 1 sach. Baking powder
• 20 g Butter
• 2 tbsp Chocolate-hazelnut spread
• 15 g Almonds
• 2 g Salt
• 15 g Hazelnuts

Method

1. Make the Dry Mix

   

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.

2. Separate the egg

   

   Separate the egg — place the yolk in a small bowl and the white in a clean, dry bowl.

3. Whisk the yolk and milk

   

   Whisk the yolk together with the milk until smooth, then pour the egg-milk mixture into the dry ingredients.

4. Stir in the melted butter

   

   Stir until you have a smooth batter with no lumps, then melt half the butter and stir it in until incorporated.

5. Whip the Egg White

   

   Add a small pinch of salt to the egg white and whisk vigorously (or use an electric whisk) until stiff peaks form — the mixture should hold its shape when you lift the whisk. This is what makes the pancakes light and fluffy.

6. Fold In

   

   Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped egg white into the batter in two additions. Use slow, sweeping motions from the bottom up — do not stir or you will knock out all the air. The batter should be light and airy with a few white streaks remaining.

7. Heat a non-stick frying pan

   

   Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small knob of the remaining butter.

8. Pour roughly 60ml of batter

   

   Once it foams, pour roughly 60ml of batter per pancake.

9. Cook

   

   Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form across the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.

10. Repeat

    

    Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little butter between each batch.

11. Stack the warm pancakes

    

    Stack the warm pancakes on a plate.

12. Spread the Nutella between the layers

    

    Spread a generous spoonful of Nutella between the layers and on top — the heat from the pancakes will soften it into a glossy drizzle.

13. Scatter with crushed hazelnuts

    

    Scatter with crushed hazelnuts and sliced almonds for crunch and serve immediately.
