Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Butter | 25g |
| All-purpose Flour | 100g |
| Baking Powder | 6g |
| Whole Milk | 200g |
| Sugar | 15g |
| Eggs | 2 |
| All-purpose Flour | 25g |
| Unsweetened Cocoa Powder | 15g |

Instructions:
-
Begin by preparing the base for your bicolore pancakes. Melt the butter in a pan over low heat, and once melted, allow it to cool slightly.
-
While the butter cools, separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the yolks until light and fluffy, and then slowly add the cooled melted butter, continuing to whisk until combined.
-
Sift the 100g of flour and baking powder together. Gradually incorporate the sifted flour mixture into the egg and butter mixture, whisking until the batter becomes smooth and slightly thick.
-
Divide the batter equally into two separate bowls. To one of the bowls, add the 25g of flour and mix well using a whisk or spatula. In the other bowl, sift in the cocoa powder and stir until the batter is well combined and chocolatey.
-
Heat a large non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat. It is essential to keep the heat moderateโtoo high and the pancakes will cook too quickly, resulting in overly dark pancakes before they fully rise.
-
Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter to prevent sticking. Start by making the light-colored pancakes. Pour a small ladle of the plain pancake batter into the center of the pan. The batter will spread naturally, so thereโs no need to spread it yourself.
-
When bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancake, flip it over using a spatula, and cook until golden brown on both sides. Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate.
-
For added fun, use cookie cutters or molds to shape the pancakes. Take a round cutter or any shape you prefer (stars, trees, hearts, or even little boots for a holiday theme) and cut one pancake from the light-colored batter and one from the dark chocolate batter.
-
Once the pancakes are shaped, stack one light pancake with a dark one in the center, creating a “bicolore” effect. Continue until youโve used up all the batter and formed a beautiful stack of bicolored pancakes.
-
Serve the pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup and enjoy!
