Meal: Breakfast, Dessert
Preparation time: Cooking time: Total time: Yield: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
270 all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs, separated
510g cup buttermilk
510g cup milk
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 tablespoons Nutella
3 tablespoons Honey syrup
4 Strawberries
Equipment
1 non-stick frying pan
1 whisk
2 bowls
1 ladle
1 spatula
Heart-shaped cookie cutter
Directions
Whisk the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a bowl.
Using a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, buttermilk, milk and butter (melted and cooled) until well combined.
Add the yolk and milk mixture into the flour mixture and whisk until barely combined. Then, add the egg whites and stir to form a thick batter. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
When hot, lower the heat to medium-low and take a ladle of the mixture and drop it in the pan.
Cook for about 1 minute or until the bottom is browned. Then, flip the pancake and continue to cook for another 1 minute.
Once cooked, take it to a serving plate and repeat steps 5 and 6 to cook the next pancakes.
Once done, use the heart-shaped cookie cutter and place it on top of each pancake. Press down to create a heart-shaped pancake.
Spread Nutella on a pancake and stack another on top.
Repeat until there are three in a stack and add more Nutella to the top.
Add honey syrup on top and garnish with some strawberries.
Quick tips
In the absence of Nutella, you can substitute the spread with peanut butter, blueberry jam or the Malaysian staple spread, Kaya.
