Choc-hazelnut sauce
- 100g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup (125ml) thickened cream
- 1/3 cup (110g) chocolate hazelnut spread
Method
STEP 1
Whisk the milk and egg in a large jug.
STEP 2
Combine the flour, sugar and bicarbonate of soda in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and use a whisk to stir until a smooth batter forms. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 mins to rest.
STEP 3
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Brush with a little melted butter. Pour ¼ cup (60ml) of batter into the pan. Sprinkle with some of the choc chips. Cook for 2 mins or until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake. Turn and cook for a further 1 min or until light golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat to make 4 more pancakes.
STEP 4
Add 1 tbs cocoa powder and 1 tbs extra milk to remaining batter and whisk to combine. Brush the pan with melted butter. Cook 5 more pancakes using half the remaining batter and choc chips.
STEP 5
Whisk the remaining cocoa powder and extra milk into remaining batter. Cook 5 more pancakes with the remaining batter and choc chips.
STEP 6
To make the choc-hazelnut sauce, combine the chocolate, cream and spread in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, until the chocolate melts and the sauce is smooth.
STEP 7
Divide the pancakes among serving plates. Top with cream and banana. Drizzle with choc-hazelnut sauce and sprinkle with hazelnut.
