We advise that you prepare all the above ingredients before starting.
You will typically need: a scale, measuring cups, mixing bowls.
Chocolate Pancakes
1 - Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and sugar in a large mixing bowl and mix everything together using a whisk. Then, set aside.
2 - Melt the butter in the microwave for about 1 minute (or in a saucepan over low heat).
3 - Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites like so.
4 - Combine the buttermilk, melted butter, egg yolks, and starter (optional) in a separate mixing bowl. Then, whisk everything together until well combined.
5 - Pour the liquid mix over the flour mix, also called dry ingredients. Next, slowly incorporate everything together using a spatula.
6 - Finally, add the egg whites into the pancake batter and gently mix with your spatula, just enough to incorporate the egg whites. You don't want to over-mix your batter which could make your pancakes less fluffy. Then, rest for 30 minutes, and meanwhile, start your chocolate sauce.
7 - After you have made the chocolate sauce, it is time to cook the pancakes. Place a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat and once the skillet is hot, grease it with a nut of butter. To get large pancakes, we used ⅔ of a measuring cup, however, feel free to use the size you prefer. Let it cook for about 3 minutes and flip the pancakes when small bubbles start to appear. Cook the other side for another minute.
8 - Stack as many pancakes as you would like on a plate and finish the dressing with the chocolate sauce and the fresh fruits of your choice.
Chocolate Sauce
1 - Combine the milk and the dark chocolate in a saucepan (or a saucier pan) and slowly melt over low heat while mixing with a spatula until the chocolate sauce is smooth and shiny.
2 - Pour the chocolate sauce over your cooked chocolate pancakes before tasting.
3 - Enjoy!
