🛒 Ingredients

8 servings

8
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • ¾ cup milk (about 180 ml)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (about 120 g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Nutella, to taste
  • Sliced fresh strawberries, to taste (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Whisk the egg with sugar, oil, and milk in a large bowl until smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Stir in the flour and cocoa powder until the batter is lump-free, then gently fold in the baking powder.

  3. 3

    Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

  4. 4

    Pour a generous scoop of batter into the center of the pan and cook until the bottom is golden and bubbles appear on the surface.

  5. 5

    Carefully lift the pancake with a spatula and tilt the pan so the uncooked batter runs to one side.

  6. 6

    Spread a spoonful of Nutella and a few strawberry slices on the exposed area, then fold the pancake in half to enclose the filling, pressing the edges gently to seal.

  7. 7

    Brown for one more minute, flip carefully, and finish cooking until both sides are firm and set.

💡 Chef's Tip

Keep the heat consistently low — this is the key to evenly cooked, fluffy pancakes without a burnt outside. Banana slices make a delicious alternative to strawberries.
