preparation

Preparation

Separate 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.
