- Makes 16 pancakes (serves 4-6)
Ingredients
- 225g self-raising flour
- 50g cocoa powder, sieved
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 400ml whole milk
- 100g dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 50g unsalted butter, cubed
To serve
- 300ml double cream
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla paste
- mixed berries (optional)
- maple syrup (optional)
Method
- STEP 1
Tip the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and sugar into a large bowl with a small pinch of salt. Add the eggs and whisk until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk until you have a smooth batter, then mix in the chocolate chips.
- STEP 2
Heat a splash of the oil and a little of the butter in a non-stick frying pan until sizzling. Cook the pancakes, using 2 tbsp batter for each, for 2 mins until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip and cook for 2 mins more (you'll need to do this in batches). Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven while you cook.
- STEP 3
To serve, whip the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla until thick. Top the pancakes with the whipped cream, berries and maple syrup, if using.
