Happy Pancake Day everyone ;)

What better excuse to make some pancakes than Pancake Day!!! I didn’t realise it was Pancake Day till some friends of mine posted some delicious pictures on Facebook, and so I decided to make my very own pancakes…very simple and very tasty :D

Here’s my version of a Chocolate-Almond Pancake-Cake :)

Ingredients:

250g Flour

1 tbs Sugar

40g Butter

3 Eggs

600ml Milk

pinch of Salt

Nutmeg

 

Nutella (400g glass jar)

Almond flakes (handful)

2 tsp Sugar

Preparation:

1.       Combine the sugar (1 tbs), butter and eggs in a mixing bowl.

2.       Sift the flour into the bowl and mix into a smooth batter.

3.       Add a tiny pinch of salt and nutmeg.

4.       Add the milk little by little and loosen the batter.

5.       Place a pan on full heat and turn it down to low and pour the 

       batter into the pan (I used a ladle).

6.       Turn the pancake once the edges start to brown.

7.       While the pancake is hot place it on a plate/tray and put a dollop 

       of Nutella and let it soften.

8.       Spread the Nutella evenly on the pancake and place the next pancake on top and repeat this and build it up into a cake.

9.       Roast the almond flakes on low heat and add the sugar (2tsp) to 

       the almonds and let them caramalise.

10.   All that’s left to do is top the pancake-cake with the sugar-coated almonds…Voila!

I managed to make 15 medium sized thin pancakes with this batter. The pancake recipe is pretty basic so you can always add different fillings and toppings like whipped cream, fruits or nice sumptuous chocolate ganache. The choices are limitless :) 

Happy Pancake Day!! ;)
