INGREDIENTS
For the pancakes:
2 egg yolks
2 egg whites, whipped
40g sugar
320ml milk (more if the batter is too thick)
45g butter, melted
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
200g (1.5cup) flour
30g (0.25cup) cocoa powder
2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
100g chocolate, finely chopped
1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
For the chocolate ganache:
250ml heavy cream
225g chocolate chips
PREPARATION
1. In a large bowl, mix together yolks and sugar, while still whisking, add milk
2. Carefully fold in whipped egg whites with a spoon rather than a whisk.
3. Add and mix the melted butter and the vanilla.
4. In another large bowl, mix the sieved flour, cocoa powder, and the baking powder.
5. Form a little well in the middle and pour the milk and eggs mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth.
6. Mix in the chopped chocolate. Let the batter sit for 15-20 minutes.
7. To make the ganache, in a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream, without letting it boil.
8. Take off the heat, add the chocolate chips to the cream and mix until perfectly smooth.
9. Over low to medium heat, pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter on a well-oiled pan.
10. When bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancake, flip and cook it for a minute on the other side.
11. When the pancakes are ready, pour the chocolate ganache on top (if the ganache has hardened while you were making the pancakes, you can microwave it for 15-20 seconds).
