Ingredients Notes For Nutella Pancake Sandwich:

- Nutella: The star of the dish, used as the filling for its smooth texture and rich flavor.
- Eggs and Milk: Mixed together to create an egg wash that helps form a crispy exterior when.
- Breadcrumbs: Plain or panko breadcrumbs for coating the sandwich, giving it a crispy finish.
- Butter or Oil: For frying, ensuring a golden and crispy exterior.
- Optional Toppings: Powdered sugar, whipped cream, or additional Nutella drizzle for serving.
Recipe Steps:
- Prepare Pancakes:
- If not using pre-made pancakes, prepare a batch of your favorite pancakes. Aim for smaller, thinner pancakes for easier sandwich handling.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Spread a generous amount of Nutella on one pancake. Top with another pancake to form a sandwich. Press gently to seal the edges.
- Prepare for Frying:
- In a shallow dish, whisk together one egg and a splash of milk. Place breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.
- Dip the pancake sandwich first in the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge in breadcrumbs, covering completely.
- Fry the Sandwich:
- Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry the pancake sandwich until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve:
- Serve hot, dusted with powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or an extra drizzle of Nutella.
Storage Options:
- Best Served Immediately: These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh and hot right after frying for optimal texture and taste.

For the Pancakes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk or 1 cup milk plus 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice, let stand 5 minutes
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil plus more for cooking
For the Filling:
- Nutella or any other chocolate hazelnut spread
For Frying:
- Butter or vegetable oil
Instructions
Make the Pancake Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the buttermilk, egg, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and coat with a small amount of butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
- Repeat with the remaining batter. You'll need at least two pancakes per sandwich.
Assemble the Sandwich:
- Spread a generous amount of Nutella on one side of a pancake.
- Top with another pancake to form a sandwich.
Fry the Pancake Sandwich:
- Wipe out the skillet and add a bit more butter or oil.
- Place the pancake sandwich back in the skillet. Fry each side until crispy and slightly golden, about 1-2 minutes per side. This step gives the sandwich a delightful texture and warms the Nutella filling.
Serve:
- Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute.
- Cut the sandwich into halves or quarters.
- Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with more Nutella or your favorite syrup before serving.
