Time 58m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1 ¼ cups milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon butter, or more as needed
2 teaspoons butter
1 tablespoon milk
2 teaspoons hazelnut liqueur
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, or more to taste
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 ripe bananas, sliced

Steps:

  • Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Combine 1 1/4 cups milk, egg, and oil in a second bowl and beat until well combined. Add milk mixture to flour mixture and stir to combine. Set batter aside for 30 minutes.
  • Melt 1 teaspoon butter in an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Pour a small ladleful of batter into the skillet. Immediately rotate the skillet until batter coats the cooking surface in a thin layer. Cook until the top of the crepe is no longer wet and the bottom has turned light brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge of the skillet to loosen crepe; flip crepe and cook until the other side has turned light brown, about 1 minute more. Slide crepe onto a warmed plate. Repeat with remaining batter.

Homemade Waffles with Chocolate Hazelnut Sauce Recipe image

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fat free chocolate syrup
1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
Strawberries, for topping
Whipped cream, for topping

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder and sugar; set aside. Preheat waffle iron. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in milk, butter and vanilla. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture and mix until combined. Pour batter into preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy. In a small sauce pan, combine chocolate sauce and hazelnut spread over low heat. Whisk until warmed through. Serve over waffles. Top with strawberries and whipped cream.

Tips:

  • To make the smoothest sauce, use a high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Be sure to use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the sauce.
  • If you are using a microwave to melt the chocolate, be sure to do so in short intervals, stirring in between, to prevent the chocolate from burning.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, simmer it for a longer period of time.
  • If you want a thinner sauce, add a little bit of milk or cream.
  • For a richer sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • To make a vegan chocolate sauce, use dairy-free milk and butter.
  • To make a sugar-free chocolate sauce, use a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit.
  • To add extra flavor to your chocolate sauce, try adding a pinch of salt, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, or a tablespoon of coffee liqueur.
  • Serve chocolate sauce warm or at room temperature.
