Chocolate pancakes

Serves:

Ingredients

• 2 cups self-raising flour
• 2 tbsp caster sugar
• 2/3 cup cocoa, sifted
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 ½ cups milk
• ¼ cup melted butter

Method

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa,

Gradually whisk in the eggs and the milk.

Mix until a thick, smooth batter forms.

Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and brush with melted butter.

Cook ¼ cup measures of this mixture in the pan. When bubbles form on the top, flip over to cook the other side.

Keep in a warm place while you cook the rest of the batter. This recipe makes 12 pancakes.

Serve with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce with fresh strawberries.

Notes

• I like to use self-raising flour for pancakes because it makes them light and fluffy.
• If you want your pancakes to be super fluffy, you can whip the egg whites (make sure you include the yolks in the batter) from the 2 eggs in the recipe until frothy and fold these into the batter before cooking.
• You can use real chocolate melted in pancakes as well to replace the cocoa but this results in very heavy pancakes.
