Total preparation time: 1 hour
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 4-6 servings

Ingredients:

For the pancakes:
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 liter milk
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil (plus a little for frying)

For the vanilla pudding:
- 1 packet of instant vanilla pudding
- 500 ml milk (for making the pudding)

For the chocolate glaze:
- 100 g dark chocolate (minimum 85% cocoa)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2-3 tablespoons milk (to thin the glaze)

Instructions:

1. Preparing the pancake batter:
In a large bowl, add the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Start mixing gently, incorporating the flour into the eggs. Then, gradually pour in the milk, continuing to mix to avoid lumps. Add the 2 tablespoons of oil and mix well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This step is essential for fluffier pancakes.

2. Making the vanilla pudding:
In a saucepan, pour in 500 ml of milk and bring it to a boil. While the milk is heating, prepare the instant pudding according to the package instructions. Once the milk has started to boil, incorporate the pudding mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Once the pudding has thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool. Cover it with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming on top.

3. Frying the pancakes:
In a non-stick skillet, add a little sunflower oil and heat it over medium heat. Pour a ladle of the pancake batter into the skillet, swirling the skillet to evenly distribute the batter. Fry the pancake for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Repeat the process for the remaining batter, adding oil to the skillet as needed.

4. Assembling the pancakes:
Once the pancakes have cooled slightly, take one pancake and spread it evenly with a spoonful of vanilla pudding. Continue to assemble the pancakes in the same way until all pancakes are used.

5. Preparing the chocolate glaze:
In a small saucepan, add the chopped dark chocolate, butter, and 2-3 tablespoons of milk. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate melts and becomes a smooth glaze. If the glaze is too thick, you can add a little milk to achieve the desired consistency.

6. Serving:
Arrange the filled pancakes on a platter and pour the chocolate glaze over them. You can decorate with fresh fruits like strawberries or raspberries, or with chopped nuts for added texture. These pancakes are delicious warm, but can also be enjoyed at room temperature.

Helpful tips:
- Flour: Make sure to use high-quality flour, ideal for pancakes, to achieve a fine texture.
- Milk: You can use whole milk or semi-skimmed milk, depending on your dietary preferences.
- Chocolate: Choose high-quality dark chocolate for a truly decadent glaze.
- Variations: For a more exotic flavor, try adding a splash of almond extract to the pancake batter or using chocolate pudding instead of vanilla.

Nutritional benefits:
These pancakes are an excellent source of carbohydrates from flour, protein from eggs, and calcium from milk. The vanilla pudding adds extra flavor and creaminess, while dark chocolate provides antioxidants and essential minerals.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use whole wheat flour? Yes, you can replace white flour with whole wheat flour, but you may need to add a little more milk since whole wheat flour absorbs more moisture.
- How can I store the pancakes? The pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. We recommend reheating them gently before serving.
- What drinks pair best? These pancakes pair perfectly with a flavorful coffee, latte, or a red fruit tea.
