ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 4 tbsp cane sugar
- 250 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 250 ml chocolate milk, skimmed
- 100 g butter
- ½ tsp fine salt
- 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
- 50 g coarsely chopped dark chocolate (approx. 55% cocoa)
- 125 g blueberries
- 75 ml maple syrup
- icing sugar
preparation
PreparationSeparate the egg yolks and whites into two separate bowls. Beat the yolks with the sugar for about 3 min. until light and fluffy (keep back 1 tsp sugar to the egg whites). Combine half the flour with the baking powder and fold it into the egg yolks.
Heat the chocolate milk and butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over a medium heat until the butter has melted. Fold it into the egg yolk mixture along with the rest of the flour and the other ingredients to make a smooth batter.
Beat the egg whites with sugar for approx. 3 min. until stiff, then carefully fold into the batter.
Heat up a frying pan nice and hot and pour out 3 portions of batter (approx. 50 ml each). Cook the pancakes for about 2 min. on each side over a medium heat. Repeat the process with the rest of the batter.
Sprinkle the pancakes with icing sugar and serve immediately with blueberries and maple syrup.
