Total time: 1 hour Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 30 minutes Number of servings: 6 Ingredients for pancakes: - 3 large eggs - 400 g flour - 600 ml milk - 1 glass of mineral water (about 250 ml) - 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest - A pinch of salt - 1 packet of vanilla sugar - 50 ml oil (for frying) - 4 apples - 1 teaspoon cinnamon - Powdered sugar (for decoration) Ingredients for chocolate sauce: - 100 g cooking chocolate - 100 ml whipping cream Preparation of apple pancakes: 1. Preparing the batter: In a large bowl, add the 3 eggs and beat well with a whisk. Gradually add 600 ml of milk, continuing to mix to achieve a homogeneous composition. Then incorporate 400 g of flour, the pinch of salt, the grated lemon zest, and the vanilla sugar. Mix well until no lumps remain. 2. Adding mineral water: Now is the time to add 250 ml of mineral water. This will make the batter airier and the pancakes fluffy. Mix gently until homogeneous. 3. Preparing the apples: Peel the apples, remove the core, and slice them thinly. Divide the slices into 6 equal portions and sprinkle powdered sugar mixed with cinnamon on top for added flavor and sweetness. 4. Baking the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Use a ladle to pour the batter into the skillet, being careful to distribute the apple slices evenly in each pancake. Fry each pancake for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they become golden and fluffy. Repeat the process until you finish the batter, adding oil to the skillet as needed. Preparation of chocolate sauce: 1. Melting the chocolate: In a bain-marie, break 100 g of cooking chocolate and add 1 tablespoon of water. Stir until the chocolate starts to melt. 2. Adding the cream: When the chocolate is completely melted, add 100 ml of whipping cream and mix well. Let it come to a boil, then remove from heat. The sauce should be creamy and homogeneous. Finalizing the dish: 1. Assembling the pancakes: Fold each pancake into quarters, do not roll them, and place them on plates. 2. Serving: Pour the warm chocolate sauce over the pancakes and garnish with the remaining apple slices and a few mint leaves for a fresh and attractive look. Useful tips: - For an even more intense flavor, you can add a splash of vanilla essence to the pancake batter. - If you prefer a less sweet chocolate sauce, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the sauce or use bitter chocolate. - Instead of apples, you can also try other fruits, such as pears or bananas, for a different version of this recipe. Nutritional benefits: Apple pancakes are a good source of carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins due to the ingredients used. Apples provide fiber and antioxidants, while chocolate adds extra antioxidants and can improve mood. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use whole wheat flour? Yes, you can replace white flour with whole wheat flour, but the texture will be slightly different. - How can I make the chocolate sauce vegan? You can use vegan chocolate and coconut or almond milk instead of cream. These apple pancakes with chocolate sauce are perfect for a special breakfast or a delicious dessert, and the combination of flavors will make you come back to this recipe time and again.
