Chocolate Nutella pancakes

When we think of indulgence, chocolate usually springs to mind. With these light and fluffy pancakes, the batter is flavoured with Nutella and cocoa powder, but they're also drizzled in an irresistibly smooth and creamy hot chocolate sauce. If this double dip of pleasure isn't enough, we also recommend adding a splash of booze to the sauce for extra kick! The nutty flavour of Frangelico or Nocino liqueurs work well. For step-by-step instructions on how to make this chocolatey tower of temptation, follow our easy video guide.

Spinach pancakes with smoked salmon

Salted caramel stuffed pancakes

Another seriously satisfying combo, salt and caramel, makes a mouth-watering filling for these simple American-style pancakes. Although stuffing them may seem like a messy feat to pull off, it's actually pretty straightforward. The trick is to make a thick pancake first, then drop a blob of caramel into the middle, then spoon over a little batter to cover that. Just be patient before flipping over. Serve with fresh raspberries and Greek yogurt for a satisfying treat the whole family will love.
