Ingredients

For the pancakes:
- 2 fresh eggs
- 10 tablespoons of flour
- 1/2 packet of baking ammonia (about 5 g)
- 1 cup of milk
- 3/4 cup of milk (for the sauce)
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 1 small cube of butter (about the size of a walnut)

For the chocolate sauce:
- 1/2 packet of cold glaze from Dr. Oetker (about 50 g)
- 1/2 bar of hazelnut chocolate (about 50 g)

Preparation

Step 1: Preparing the pancake batter

Start by beating the eggs in a tall bowl using a mixer or a whisk. Add the flour, vanilla sugar, baking ammonia, and salt. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients. Gradually add the milk and continue mixing until you achieve a thin, smooth batter. It is important that there are no lumps in the mixture, so make sure you mix well.

Step 2: Frying the pancakes

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the cube of butter, allowing it to melt. Pour a ladle of the pancake batter into the skillet, forming an even circle. Fry the pancake for 1-2 minutes or until the edges begin to slightly lift from the skillet and the surface becomes a bit matte. Flip the pancake using a spatula and let it fry for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Repeat the process until you finish all the batter. You can keep the pancakes warm on a plate covered with a clean towel.

Step 3: Filling the pancakes

Once you have fried all the pancakes, fill each pancake with greengage jelly. Roll them tightly to form rolls. For an elegant presentation, you can place 5 pancakes on a deep platter.

Step 4: Preparing the chocolate sauce

In a small pot, add 3/4 cup of milk, the glaze powder, and the hazelnut chocolate. Place the pot over low heat and stir constantly until the chocolate melts and the sauce becomes smooth and easy to pour. If you want a thinner sauce, add a little extra milk.

Step 5: Serving

Pour the warm chocolate sauce over the pancakes before serving. They are delicious when served warm, alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream. Share them with your loved ones and watch how they enjoy every bite!

Tips and tricks
