Fluffy pancakes hiding a warm, gooey Nutella center for an indulgent breakfast treat.

# Ingredient List:

→ Pancake Batter

01 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
06 - 1 cup whole milk
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Filling

10 - 8 tablespoons Nutella, chilled into disks

# How to Make:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dollop 8 heaping tablespoons of Nutella onto the sheet, shaping each into a 2-inch wide disk. Freeze at least 30 minutes until firm.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk whole milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
05 - Warm a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly brush with butter.
06 - Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Center a frozen Nutella disk on top, then cover with more batter to seal.
07 - Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set, approximately 2 minutes.
08 - Flip carefully and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
09 - Repeat with remaining batter and Nutella disks, adding butter as needed. Serve warm, garnished optionally with powdered sugar or extra Nutella.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The moment you cut into these pancakes and warm Nutella spills out, breakfast feels like magic
  • They turn an ordinary Sunday morning into something kids talk about for weeks
02 -
  • If your Nutella disks start melting before you use them, pop them back in the freezer for ten minutes or they will leak everywhere
  • Do not press down on the pancakes while they cook, you will squeeze the filling out and they will become dense instead of fluffy
03 -
  • Chill your mixing bowl for the dry ingredients if it is a hot day, this keeps the butter from melting too fast when you combine everything
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion the Nutella, it is much faster and more consistent than using a spoon
