Method
- Put the caramel and 1 tbsp cocoa in a small saucepan. Heat over a low heat and whisk until smooth and steaming. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- To make the pancakes, gently heat 75ml milk in a separate saucepan until just steaming. Stir in the coffee to dissolve, then stir in 300ml milk.
- Put the flour, cocoa, baking powder and sugar in a large mixing bowl with a pinch of salt. Make a well in the centre, crack in the eggs and pour in the melted butter; whisk until smooth. Gradually pour in the coffee-milk, whisking constantly, until you have a thick, pourable batter. Preheat the oven to gas ¼, 110°C, fan 90°C.
- Melt a little butter with a drizzle of oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium-low heat. When sizzling, pour in 3-4 tbsp batter per pancake to make 8cm wide pancakes. Cook in batches of 3 for 2-3 mins until large bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for 1-2 mins more. Repeat to make 18 pancakes, adding more butter and oil to the pan when needed. Set the cooked pancakes aside in the oven while you cook the rest.
- Serve with whipped cream and a pinch of cocoa if you like, with the sauce poured over the top.
Freezing and defrosting guidelines
Freeze pancakes only – after cooling, stack them between layers of baking paper and place in a freezer bag or wrap in foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in the wrappings and reheat as above. In order to enjoy optimum flavour and quality, frozen items are best used within 3 months of their freezing date.
