Tips for the Perfect Nutella-Stuffed Pancakes

1. Freeze the Nutella for Easy FillingTo prevent Nutella from melting too quickly while cooking, spoon small portions onto parchment paper and freeze for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the batter. This makes it easier to seal the pancakes properly and ensures a delicious gooey center.
2. Use the Right Heat SettingCooking pancakes over medium-low heat allows them to cook evenly without burning. If the heat is too high, the outside may brown too quickly while the inside remains undercooked.
3. Avoid Overmixing the BatterFor extra fluffy pancakes, mix the batter just until combined. Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, making the pancakes dense instead of light and airy. A few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine!
4. Choose a Non-Stick PanUsing a non-stick pan or griddle prevents sticking and makes flipping much easier. If you’re using a regular pan, lightly grease it with butter or oil before cooking.
5. Let the Batter RestLetting the pancake batter rest for 5-10 minutes allows the flour to fully absorb the liquid, resulting in a softer and fluffier texture.
6. Flip at the Right TimeFlip the pancakes only when bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look slightly set. This ensures they’re cooked evenly and don’t fall apart when flipped.
7. Get Creative with ToppingsNutella-filled pancakes are already indulgent, but you can take them to the next level with toppings like:Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, or bananas), a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of warm chocolate or caramel sauce, a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert twist
