CHOCOLATE PANCAKES WITH SPICED MAPLE SYRUP – by Jodie Van Der Velden

INGREDIENTS

Pancakes

(Optional – but I like to add another 100g of Callebaut chocolate button!)

Syrup

METHOD

Syrup

Bring maple syrup to gentle simmer, remove from heat and add ginger, cinnamon, vanilla bean seeds scraped plus pod and a tiny grating of nutmeg.
Cover and refrigerate over night for more intense flavour, or leave at room temperature and let infuse for 1 hr.
Pass syrup through sieve and discard infusion ingredients.

Pancakes

Combine flour, salt, caster sugar and cocoa powder in a bowl.
Combine Buttermilk, egg and melted butter together, whisk until combined.
Pour wet ingredients into the centre of the dry ingredients and whisk gently to combine, being careful not to overbeat or you’ll toughen the batter. When combined, stir in grated chocolate, and if you like, the extra chocolate buttons!)
Pour desired amount (I use about 1/3 of a cup) into no stick frying pan and cook until bubbles appear, then flip and briefly cook the other side.
Serve drowned in spiced syrup!
