Chocolate pancakes
Description
The pancakes are prepared simply and quickly. I find that these pancakes are loved with cottage cheese and fruit, but they can also be served with sour cream, condensed milk, whipped cream, or any jam. The recipe is very simple and there are no problems with flipping. From the listed amount of ingredients I got 14 chocolate pancakes. This is not only a wonderful way to add variety to Maslenitsa, but also a great idea for a tasty breakfast or tea time on a weekend. Chocolate pancakes can also be used as a base for a pancake cake or made more interesting by stuffing them with sweet cottage cheese. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Step 8

Mix again thoroughly with a whisk until the pancake batter becomes smooth. Let the chocolate pancake batter sit on the counter for 15–20 minutes, allowing the ingredients to come into a tighter contact. Lightly grease the pan with vegetable oil so the first pancake doesn’t turn out as a lump.

Step 9

Heat the pan over high heat. Using a pancake ladle (or ladle), pour the pancake batter onto the pan so that the batter spreads in a thin layer across the entire diameter of the pan (mine is 18 cm).

Step 10

Fry the pancake without touching it for the first two minutes. But as soon as the bubbles that form on its surface stop popping, gently lift the edge of the pancake with a spatula, slide the spatula to its middle, lift and quickly flip the pancake to the other side. On the reverse side the pancake cooks for a shorter time.
