| Espresso Pancakes |
2 cups buttermilk or whole milk
2-3 tablespoons instant espresso
granules
2 large eggs, separated
4 tablespoons sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
unsalted butter, for cooking
Nutella Topping (hazelnut topping)
1 cup Nutella
1 cup Whipping cream
Pancakes:
Warm the
milk on low heat; add the coffee granules and mix well to dissolve. It takes
1-2 minutes to dissolve. Set aside and cool.
Separate
yolks from whites in bowls.
Bowl 1: combine yolks and sugar; mix well. Sift in the
flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well. Begin adding the milk and
coffee a little at a time and mix well until well homogenized. When it’s nicely mixed, add a pinch of salt
and mix again. Set aside.
Bowl 2: In a dry bowl, whip egg whites until a firm stiff cloud. Transfer egg whites into flour mixture and
fold gently to incorporate fully. Cover
in plastic wrap and allow to rest in refrigerator about 20-30 minutes.
Cooking: Once the batter has rested, begin cooking pancakes in
large skillet. Add a little butter (1/2 - 1 tablespoon) at a
time in skillet; ladle small scoops of batter in the hot skillet. Cook 2-3
minutes per side, flipping once. Transfer to a platter or serving plates.
Nutella topping:
In a saucepan place the Nutella and
cream on low heat to warm. Keep stirring on low heat, until a smooth
homogeneous cream. When the pancakes are ready, drizzle the warm sauce over
pancakes. Makes 12-24 pancakes.
