Stardust Chocolate Pancakes Recipes

STARDUST CHOCOLATE PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine milk, egg and butter; whisk until blended.
• In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda and salt; mix well.
• Add milk mixture; whisk just until dry ingredients are moistened.
• (Batter will be slightly lumpy.) Heat griddle over medium heat until hot.
• (Drops of water will sizzle, then evaporate.) For each pancake, pour scant 1/4 cup batter into griddle.
• Cook 1-2 minutes or until batter is set around edges.
• Carefully turn over pancake; cook 1-2 minutes or until pancakes are cooked through.
• Repeat with remaining batter.
• Sprinkle pancakes with powdered sugar; serve warm with desired toppings.
• (I use a star shaped mold, placed on grill. You must spray mold with vegetable oil) Try using metal star shaped cookie cutters!

EASY CHOCOLATE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift the flour into a bowl, add the sugar and salt, make a well in the centre and add the egg and egg yolk; beat together until the flour is mixed in, gradually add the milk, then strain through a fine sieve.
• Melt half the butter and stir it into the batter. Add the orange liqueur or rum (if using) and leave the batter to stand for 1 hour.
• Melt a little of the remaining butter into a non-stick pan and spoon 1/8 of the batter into the pan, cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until almost cooked.
• Sprinkle a few chocolate chips over the pancake. When the pancake starts to melt, fold the pancake into quarters, and transfer it to a warm serving plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes.
• Dust the pancakes with icing sugar and serve with cream, yoghurt or icecream and your choice of berries or other fruit.
