Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pancake Batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Assembly
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries washed, hulled, and sliced thick
  • 1 cup chocolate hazelnut spread like Nutella
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Large non-stick skillet or griddle
  • Squeeze bottle (optional but recommended)
  • Thin spatula
  • Decorative wooden skewers or toothpicks

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Lumps are okay. Let batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Grease lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  5. Transfer batter to a squeeze bottle or use a small spoon to drop 1.5-inch circles of batter onto the skillet.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on top (1-2 minutes), then flip and cook for 1 more minute until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
  7. Once pancakes are completely cool, begin assembly: Spread a generous layer of chocolate hazelnut spread on a mini pancake.
  8. Top with a strawberry slice, add a small dab of spread on the strawberry, and place a second mini pancake on top.
  9. Carefully push a decorative skewer or long toothpick through the center to hold the stack together.
  10. Arrange on a serving platter and lightly dust with powdered sugar right before serving.

Notes

Ensure pancakes are completely cool before adding the spread, otherwise, the spread will melt and the towers will collapse. You can use store-bought pancake mix to save time.
