By Ben Panny


Pancakes are the easiest thing to make on the planet plus a little creativity is all it requires. And there's something special about pancakes- they do not need to be dull! They could be created in numerous various strategies and can even serve as a nice looking and delightful dessert and this is what I'll present right here. These homemade pancakes are a terrific plan once you are having some guests and in case you do not choose to make any cakes or cookies.

I enjoy consuming pancakes and what I know is the fact that an ideal pancake can by no means be complete without a tempting topping that not only makes pancakes look appetizing but also titillates the taste buds. There are numerous various toppings and usually they vary from standard toppings just like honey, strawberry syrup, peanut butter, maple syrup or to much more complicated with mixture of fresh fruits, nuts and some syrups. In case you happen to be searching for something much more fascinating, test this topping which recipe I include with the recipe for pancakes. Here is a recipe for hazelnut and chocolate crepes:

Ingredients for crepes:

15g butter, melted

a pinch of salt

1 1/4 cups milk

2 eggs

1 cup plain flour, sifted

Ingredients for topping:

1 cup Nutella

250g spreadable cream cheese

1/4 cup strawberry jam

200g good quality dark chocolate, chopped

100g hazelnuts

3/4 cup thickened cream

Strawberries, halved

How you can make crepes:

In a bowl, mix flour plus a pinch of salt. Inside a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk and melted butter. Make a well in the heart of flour combination and put milk mixture into it. Whisk till smooth and combined. Cover the batter and refrigerate it for 30 minutes. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour about cup of the batter into the skillet ans swirl to coat the base. Cook for about 2 minutes or until golden and lacy. Then turn over and cook again for about 1-2 minutes or till golden. How to create a topping:

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Put hazelnuts on a baking tray and bake them for about 6 minutes. Then place them into a clean towel and tub till they shed skins. Then chop hazelnuts. Mix spreadable cream cheese with strawberry jam. Use Nutella to spread over half of the crepes. Then scatter it with hazelnuts. The rest of crepes spread with strawberry cream and put a hazelnut crepe on a plate. Top them with strawberry layer and refrigerate for an hour. Meanwhile, melt dark chocolate inside a saucepan. Drizzle chocolate sauce above the crepe stack. Take pleasure in eating.
