American pancakes with a warm hazelnut sauce.
This is one of the most tastiest foods I have made yet! The pancakes are fluffy the chocolate sauce is warm and crunchy. Everything just goes together perfectly..It truly is delicious!
Now usually a lot of people have pancakes for breakfast but in my household we eat it whenever just because well we can. so this is more like a dessert to us and this is why the sauce goes so well with the pancakes.Obviously if you wanted to have it for breakfast you can or you could just scrap the chocolate sauce for another time and have plain pancakes, whatever your preference you wont be disappointed I promise you.
The pancake recipe is my own however I got the idea of a chocolate sauce from Theroastedroot.net but tweaked it to make it more of my own.
Vanilla pancakes with a warm hazelnut sauce
yields 6-8 prep time 10mins cook time 20mins
You will need;
For the pancakes;
2 eggs
200g self raising flour
1tsp baking powder
4tsp vanilla essence
1/4tsp sea salt
3tbsp caster sugar
100g melted butter (allowed to cool slightly)
150g full fat milk
1tbsp maple syrup
For the hazelnut sauce;
50g green&blacks dark chocolate
100g cocoa powder
1tbsp vanilla essence
1tbsp maple syrup
150g of chopped hazelnut
1 can of coconut milk
Method
To make the pancakes add all the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix until fully incorporated, add the vanilla essence and maple syrup and mix.
In a separate bowl crack the eggs whisk and mix in with the dry ingredients.
Add your butter but make sure it has cooled to prevent your mixture curdling.
Finally pour in the milk then fold until you have a thick mixture. (I personally like using a silicone spatula as opposed to a whisk to fold in my mixture.)
add 1tbsp of butter to a frying pan over medium to low heat then add your pancake mix depending on how big or small you want your pancake to be.
fry each side for about 30 seconds to a minute just until its a golden brown colour and remove.
To make the hazelnut sauce add all the listed ingredients in a small pot and let simmer for 3 minutes on a low heat. Remove from fire and generously pour over pancakes.
Top with crushed hazelnuts.
