I’ve talked before about my girls’ love of pancakes so I knew this recipe would be a winner. I used a slab of Dark chocolate that I chopped into Chocolate Chip sized chunks – I like using Dark Chocolate in cooking as the flavour stands out so much better. I’ve also got an abundance of Orange Blossom so threw a few drops of that in too – the results were magic! I’m still using up all our Wholewheat flour and bunged that in too! A very frugal recipe 🙂
WHOLEWHEAT PANCAKES WITH DARK CHOCOLATE CHIPS & ORANGE BLOSSOM
| Serves | 3-4 |
| Prep time | 3 minutes |
| Cook time | 6 minutes |
| Total time | 9 minutes |
| Meal type | Breakfast, Dessert, Snack |
| Misc | Child Friendly, Serve Hot |
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Medium Egg (Whisked)
- 1 cup Wholewheat Self Raising Flour ((approx 125g))
- 1 cup Semi Skimmed Milk ((I used a bit more than Elizabeth’s original recipe due to using Wholemeal Flour))
- 3-4 drops Orange Blossom Extract
- 100g Dark Chocolate (Chopped into Chocolate Chip sized chunks)
- 3-4 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (For frying)
NOTE
If you don’t have any Orange Blossom, Vanilla Extract is just as nice!
DIRECTIONS
| 1. | |
| Mix together the flour and the egg. | |
| 2. | |
| Gradually add the milk until fully combined – Will take only 1-2 minutes (Wholemeal flour doesn’t tend to go lumpy) | |
| 3. | |
| Add the chopped chocolate and the orange blossom and stir in | |
| 4. | |
| Use a small frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil until just starting to sizzle | |
| 5. | |
| Add a small ladle full of pancake mix and cook on both sides for 2-3 minutes until golden & crispy | |
| 6. | |
| Remove from pan and blot on a piece of kitchen roll | |
| 7. | |
| Serve whilst still hot with a serving of vanilla ice cream | |
I like your take 🙂 And how to describe hot sauce– well, I guess you need to come to the states or go to somewhere that serves hot chicken wings 🙂
Oh you have no idea how much I would like that to happen! Maybe one day xxx
