Method
Step 1.
Whisk the buttermilk, milk, egg, vanilla extract and melted butter together in a small jug and set aside.
Step 2.
In a large bowl, sieve together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Add the sugar and mix to combine.
Step 3.
Make a well in the centre and gradually pour in the wet ingredients. Whisk until you have a smooth, thick batter. Leave to stand for 15 minutes.
Step 4.
Meanwhile, put the chopped Lindt EXCELLENCE Raspberry Intense Dark Chocolate into a heat-proof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir often, until the chocolate has melted. Take care to ensure it doesn’t overheat. Remove from the heat and pour into a jug.
Step 5.
Whip the cream with the icing sugar using an electric whisk until stiff peaks form - take care not to over whip. Set aside.
Step 6.
Brush a nonstick frying pan with a little sunflower oil and place over a medium heat.
Once the pan is hot, pour half a ladle of batter into the pan and gently spread out to form a small disc.
Step 7.
Leave to cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles start to form - don’t be tempted to fiddle with it. Flip using a palette knife or spatula and cook for a further minute or so until just firm.
Step 8.
Cook the pancakes in batches, brushing the pan with a little more oil as needed.
Step 9.
Serve the pancakes with a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of melted EXCELLENCE Raspberry Intense Dark Chocolate, a sprinkling of fresh raspberries and dark chocolate curls. Serve any remaining sauce and whipped cream on the side.
