Nutella Stuffed Pancakes & Nutella S’mores Stuffed Pancakes

Connecticut was hit with a good amount of snow over the past few days.  For those of you just tuning in,  I’m a  teacher which means snow = no work.  I swear teachers get more excited for snow days than the kids.  My coworkers and I have a group text that resembles that of future meteorologists.  We had a four day weekend, so this meant pajamas all day, snowman sculpting,  skiing and recipe testing.

I’ll get to that in a minute.

We usually get a ton of snow my now, but this year has been unseasonably warm, so when we woke up to this:

The boys sat in the window for a while in wonderment.

This was Max’s first season on skis.  This clip is from Saturday of my husband and Max on his first ski lift ride.

Dante is a little too young for skis, but that didn’t stop us from having our own fun!

This was a great weekend for family bonding.  Ya know what makes for great bonding? Food.  I was brainstorming about  fun Valentine’s Day breakfast to make for my sweeties.  For birthdays I make funfetti pancakes and they love them.  I thought I’d go in the pancake direction but didn’t want to stop at simple heart shaped ones.  When in doubt, add Nutella.  Or marshmallows.  Or both.

 

Ingredients

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• nonstick spray
• Nutella (a dollop per pancake)
• mini marshmallows (amount depends on how big your pancakes are)

Directions

• combine milk and vinegar in a bowl and set aside for about 5 minutes (this essentially makes buttermilk)
• mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl
• whisk egg and butter into vinegar and milk mixture
• pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone
• spray pan and pour pancake batter to desired size
• once bubbles form, plop on some Nutella (and marshmallows if you’re making the s’mores variation)
• quickly pour on more pancake batter to cover visible chocolate and/or marshmallows
• when you notice the new batter beginning to set, carefully flip
• cook until golden brown
• enjoy!

(PSSSSST…this recipe can be even easier using store-bought pancake mix )
