Instructions
-
Prepare the coffee mixture: In a small bowl, combine the instant coffee with warm milk and stir until fully dissolved. Then add the ground coffee and mix thoroughly. Set aside.
-
Separate the eggs: Crack the eggs, separating the yolks from the whites. Whisk the yolks in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
-
Mix the dry ingredients: Gradually sift in the flour, ensuring it’s well combined with the egg yolks. Stir in the sugar, a pinch of salt, and the baking powder.
-
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Slowly add the coffee-milk mixture to the flour mixture, whisking continuously to create a smooth, homogenous batter. If the batter feels too thick, add a little more milk to adjust the consistency to be soft but not too runny.
-
Whisk the egg whites: Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks. Gently fold the beaten whites into the batter using a spatula, ensuring that you mix from the bottom up to keep the airiness intact.
-
Rest the batter: Cover the batter with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 30 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate and the flavors to meld.
-
Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease it with butter. Pour the batter onto the skillet, aiming to form round pancakes about 8 cm in diameter (you can make them larger or smaller depending on your preference). Cook each pancake for about 1 minute on one side, then flip it using a spatula and cook the other side until golden. Repeat the process until all the batter is used up.
-
Prepare the Nutella cream: In a small saucepan, gently heat the Nutella until it softens. Once warm, add the heavy cream and stir until well combined, forming a smooth, creamy sauce.
-
Serve: Stack four pancakes on each plate and drizzle with a couple of spoonfuls of the warm Nutella cream.
Your coffee pancakes with Nutella cream are now ready to be enjoyed! The rich, aromatic coffee flavor pairs perfectly with the creamy, indulgent Nutella topping—perfect for a special breakfast or dessert treat!
