Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 110 grams of granulated sugar
- 250 ml whole milk
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 100 grams Nutella
Instructions
1. Prepare the Eggs:
- Crack the eggs into a glass to check for any bad ones, then transfer them to a mixing bowl. Beat the eggs with a whisk until they're well mixed.
2. Add Sugar:
- Gradually add the sugar while whisking the eggs vigorously. This step is crucial because if the sugar sits on the egg yolks for too long, it can start to cook them, creating lumps.
3. Incorporate the Liquids:
- Pour in the milk and olive oil, then whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth.
4. Sift and Add Dry Ingredients:
- Sift the flour and baking powder into the wet mixture. This helps prevent lumps and ensures an even distribution of the baking powder, which will make your pancakes fluffy.
5. Mix Until Smooth:
- Whisk everything together until the batter is smooth. If you notice any lumps, you can use a blender to get a perfectly smooth batter.
6. Cook the Pancakes:
- Preheat a non-stick pan over low heat. Add a couple of drops of oil and spread it around with a paper towel. Pour some pancake batter into the pan, cover with a lid, and cook for one minute on low heat.
7. Add the Nutella:
- Spoon Nutella onto the pancake batter in the pan. You can add as much Nutella as you like!
8. Cover with More Batter:
- Add more pancake batter on top of the Nutella, just enough to cover it. Cover with a lid again and keep an eye on the pancake. When you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look cooked, it’s time to flip.
9. Flip and Finish Cooking:
- Flip the pancake carefully. The first pancake might not look perfect, but don’t worry—the rest will get better as you go. Cook for another minute or so until fully cooked.
10. Repeat and Enjoy:
- Continue cooking the rest of the batter, spreading the oil from the first pancake with the paper towel if needed. Serve warm and enjoy the Nutella goodness!
These Nutella-stuffed pancakes are sure to be a hit with everyone. Enjoy them as they are, or top with some fresh berries for an extra treat!
