How to make classic chocolate pancakes with milk and cocoa

Ingredients:

250 g flour;
300 ml milk;
2 eggs;
2 tbsp. l. cocoa powder;
1 tsp. baking powder;
4 tbsp. l. granulated sugar;
½ tsp. salt and vanillin;
1 tbsp. l. vegetable oil.

Method for preparing chocolate pancakes:

Beat eggs with granulated sugar and salt.
Add warm milk and vegetable oil to the egg mixture and mix with a mixer.
In a separate bowl, combine the sifted flour with granulated sugar, cocoa powder and baking powder.
Add the bulk mixture in portions, gently mixing the composition.

The output should be chocolate dough with the consistency of condensed milk. Before preparing the first batch of pancakes, it is recommended to grease the heated frying pan with a small amount of butter. Bake pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side.

Note! The flour should be sifted before mixing with the other ingredients - this will saturate the dough with air, which will make homemade chocolate pancakes with milk more fluffy.

How to make chocolate pancakes

Choco pancakes are one of the few delicious dishes that require a minimum of time to prepare. Considering their nutritional value, it is better to make dessert for breakfast. The most suitable utensils for baking chocolate pancakes are a pancake pan or a wide frying pan with a flat, thick bottom. Experienced pancake makers share their secrets for achieving perfect homemade baked goods:

Use fresh baking powder or baking soda. Even if their shelf life has not yet expired, you still won’t get a fluffy pancake with chocolate flavor. The fresher the product, the more bubbles it will give when reacting with an acidic environment.
Note! A pack that has been left open for a couple of weeks is useless for pancakes. Even if less than a month has passed since its manufacture. With such storage, a couple of days is enough for most of the active substances to evaporate from the powder.
For the same reason, you cannot prepare the dough in advance. It will take 1 hour for the formed bubbles to burst. Chocolate baked goods made from such a base will never be fluffy.
To make chocolate pancakes fluffy, eggs and milk should be at room temperature.
Do not be overzealous when mixing lumps. This will lead to the formation of gluten, which is inappropriate in this type of chocolate baking. In pancake form, American pancake must be kneaded until the liquid permeates the dry ingredients.
To get the uniform crust that pancakes are famous for, you shouldn’t overuse butter. In the classic version, the dish is fried in a dry frying pan. If you can’t do without oil, you can lightly sprinkle the dishes with it, and then remove the excess with a paper napkin.
Pieces of chocolate, berries or fruits added directly to the dough cause pancakes to burn. To prevent this from happening, you need to pour a little base into the pan, on top of which you can pour additional components. Chocolate pancake will not stick to the pan after turning over if the filling is covered with a layer of dough.

During the frying process, bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes. Do not try to turn the product over until they all burst. Following the rules will help you reproduce chocolate pancakes, the recipe with photos of which will look like a restaurant menu.

By the way! When cooking chocolate pancakes in a frying pan, you need to use a thin spatula (it will help lift out the baked dough). When turning over, you should not lift the product too high (10 cm from the surface of the dish is enough), otherwise it will be deformed when landing.

Vegan chocolate banana pancakes

This pancake recipe for vegetarians does not contain butter, eggs or cow's milk. If they are baked on a non-stick pancake maker, then they don’t even grease the hot surface with oil.

Required Products:

whole grain or rye flour, rice flour – 150 g;
cocoa powder – 20 g;
baking powder - a quarter teaspoon;
soy or almond milk, oat milk – 250 ml;
soft, ripe banana – 0.5 pcs.;
brown sugar – 50 g;
vanilla sugar – 1 sachet.

Step-by-step cooking process

A very soft, ripe banana is thoroughly mashed with a mortar and mixed with vegetable milk. If you have a mixer in the kitchen, beat everything together.
Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and add them in small portions to the resulting cocktail.
The batter should be thicker than pancake batter. Leave it in a warm place for the baking powder to work and bubbles to appear, for 10-12 minutes.
The non-stick frying pan is heated. Then reduce the heat to medium and pour some of the dough into the middle. The pan is slightly tilted in different directions so that the dough forms a beautiful, even, but not too thin circle.
If the dough becomes too thin, add a little flour and mix again. When the edges of the pancake are browned, carefully turn it over to the other side. Fry for 1.5-2 minutes on each side.

Vegetarian pancakes are decorated with prunes, and rye flour is chosen. In this case, diabetics can also enjoy them.

With chocolate filling

Components:

250 g flour;
3 tbsp. l. granulated sugar;
½ tsp. salt;
1 egg;
200 ml milk;
10–12 tbsp. l. "Nutella";
10 g butter;
a pinch of salt and baking powder.

Interesting! For ease of working with chocolate paste when making pancake filling, it must first be frozen. To do this, place thin chocolate circles on parchment and place them in the freezer for 10 minutes. After the specified time has passed, another layer is applied on top and placed in the freezer for another 15 minutes.

Recommendations for preparing the dough:

Beat the egg with salt and sugar, pour in the milk, mix well.
Mix flour with baking powder, add to milk mixture, beat until lumps are eliminated.
Grease the frying pan with oil.

Lay out the pancakes in several layers - first the dough, a circle of Nutella on top and then the dough again. It is important that the dough covers the chocolate on all sides - this will help avoid burning.

Recipe with milk

This recipe is similar to the previous one, only we replace kefir with milk and remove the soda. This recipe is also considered a classic. In principle, all of humanity can be divided into two halves: one prepares pancakes with kefir, and the other with milk. So the choice is yours.

Ingredients:

Milk 350ml.
Flour 250g.
Vegetable oil 4 tbsp. spoons
Sugar to taste, 4-5 tbsp. spoons
3 eggs
A pinch of salt.

Cooking process:

Separate the yolks from the whites.

Beat the yolks with sugar until the mixture turns white.

Add warm milk to the yolks and continue beating until well foamed.

Add sifted flour. Mix with a spoon, and then use a mixer or blender to beat the dough until smooth.

It is possible that the dough will turn out to be too liquid, then you should add a little flour and repeat the beating process.

After flour, you need to add vegetable oil to the dough, which will allow the pancakes not to burn.

Mix the vegetable oil until the dough is homogeneous.

Now let's get back to the proteins. The whites must be beaten to stiff peaks. That is, to put it simply, to the point of standing. To make a strong foam. To make this easier to achieve, add a pinch of salt to the whites and start beating.

Place the whipped whites into the bowl with the dough and carefully, using a spoon, mix the two ingredients until smooth.

Egg whites will make the dough fluffy and airy. It is thanks to proteins that we will not add either soda or baking powder.

Take the finished dough with a ladle and pour it into a heated frying pan. As soon as bubbles appear on the surface, turn the pancake over to the other side and fry on the other side until nicely browned.

And so we fry each one until the dough is finished.

Serve pancakes with boiled condensed milk or sweet syrup.

Bon appetit.
