Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1.25 cups buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter, cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cups Nutella (plus extra for serving)
For Serving
  • Extra Nutella (warmed for drizzling)
  • Whipped cream
  • Sliced strawberries or bananas
  • Chopped hazelnuts
  • Powdered sugar
  • Maple syrup (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Create a well in the center for wet ingredients.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredient well and stir gently just until combined. Let batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat a griddle over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Grease lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle, leaving space between pancakes.
  3. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
  4. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate in a 200°F oven until ready to serve.
Serving
  1. Stack 2-3 pancakes per plate, drizzle with warm Nutella, and add whipped cream on top.
  2. Garnish with strawberries, bananas, chopped hazelnuts, and powdered sugar as desired.

Notes

Use room temperature Nutella for better swirling. You can also stuff the pancakes with Nutella for a gooey center.
