Every once in a while, I love having dessert for breakfast. The result = “Hostess Cupcake” Pancakes.
One of my favorite recipes on the site are the Red Velvet Crepes — this recipe is a follow up to the “dessert for breakfast” series. I can’t deny the fact that this recipe is likely a pre-cursor to diabetes, but man-o-man, is it ever good.
“Hostess Cupcake” Pancakes (serves 5)
Ingredients:
Chocolate Pancakes
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 cup, all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup, cocoa0powder
- ¼ cup, sugar
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
Chocolate Sauce
- 300 g. heavy cream (about 1 ½ cups)
- 300 g. semi-sweet chocolate (about 1 1/3 cups)
- 50 g. sugar (about ¼ cup)
Icings (for swirls)
- ¼ cup icing / powdered sugar
- 1 tsp milk
Directions:
For the chocolate pancakes:
In a medium bowl, add the wet ingredients: milk, eggs, melted butter. Whisk until combined.
In a separate bowl, sift: flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Add sugar and salt. Slowly whisk wet ingredients into the dry mixture, and whisk until you get rid of most of the lumps.
Heat a non-stick skillet, or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with an oil mister, and when the skillet is hot, pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Once the batter sets around the edges, flip over. Cook until the batter is baked all the way through.
For the chocolate sauce:
Chop chocolate and place in a heat-proof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat sugar and heavy cream until it comes to a rolling boil (remove from stove as soon as it begins to boil).
Pour the cream and sugar mixture over the chocolate, and stir to combined. Avoid using a whisk (like I have done in my picture) because it incorporates air bubbles. At first, the chocolate will look split, or curdled, but it will combine as the ingredients begin to homogenize)
Pour over pancakes while warm. The sauce will set over time, but you can re-heat it in the microwave again as needed.
For the icing (optional):
Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl, and whisk until combined. Place icing in a piping bag, piping triangle, or zip lock bag (with the tip trimmed), and pipe patters on top of your pancakes. This is a fun little activity to get the kids involved.

Primarily it sold fried chicken but now due to a lot of competition in this type of food market it has come up with different types of burgers, sandwiches and salads to capture the market.
Pizza delivery used to be strictly a phone transaction, but now the internet has
brought ordering pizza to a new level. Many mobile sites can remember what you previously ordered, making re ordering just
a click away.

One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to http://www.damaskweddinginvitations.net/damask-invitation-161877413986595221.html look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.
