Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • cup Nutella
  • 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted, plus extra for greasing the pan
  • 1 ⅓ cups whole milk room temperature
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • chopped hazelnuts optional topping
  • maple syrup optional topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a griddle pan or electric griddle on medium low heat.
  • In a large mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt and whisk to combine and remove any lumps.
  • In a smaller bowl, combine the melted butter with the Nutella and whisk until smooth. Add the milk and eggs and whisk again to combine.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk together to combine everything into a creamy batter. Some lumps are ok.
  • Grease the pan or griddle lightly with butter and use a ladle or measuring cup to pour ¼ cup of the batter onto the pan for each pancake.
  • Cook the pancakes for 45 - 60 seconds until bubbles start to form and pop, and the underside is golden brown. Flip pancakes and cook an additional 30 seconds until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter until all pancakes have been cooked. 
  • Top pancakes with chopped hazelnuts and syrup, if desired.

Notes

  • Thin - Add additional milk to the batter.
  • Mini - Use only 2 Tablespoons for batter per pancake.
  • Dippers - Pour the batter into 3-4 inch strips that are about 1-inch thick. 
  • Pancake Mix - Use store-bought pancake mix and add Nutella to the finished batter.  Additional liquid may need to be added to thin out the batter.
  • Toppings - Add fresh fruit, chopped nuts, coconut flakes, chocolate chips, caramel sauce, buttermilk syrup, peanut butter, biscoff spread, whipped cream or additional Nutella drizzled on top.
  • Make Ahead - Freeze finished pancakes in a single layer on a lined sheet pan. Transfer to a freezer safe bag or container for up to 2 months.
  • Leftovers - Keep leftovers in a bag or airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a pan with a bit of butter.
