**Chocolate Stuffed Pancakes Ebelskivers Recipe**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 ½ teaspoons sugar
– ½ teaspoon baking powder
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 1 cup milk
– 2 large eggs, separated
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
– ½ cup chocolate chips
– Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
– Maple syrup for serving
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Batter:** In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg yolks, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
2. **Whip the Egg Whites:** In another bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter until no streaks remain. This step will make your pancakes extra light and fluffy!
3. **Heat the Ebelskiver Pan:** Heat an ebelskiver pan over medium heat and grease each well with a little butter or cooking spray. If you don’t have an ebelskiver pan, you can use a mini muffin tin as a substitute.
4. **Fill and Cook:** Spoon a small amount of batter into each well, just enough to cover the bottom. Add a few chocolate chips to the center of each pancake. Top with a little more batter to cover the chocolate.
5. **Flip and Cook:** Allow the pancakes to cook for a couple of minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Using a skewer or fork, carefully flip each pancake to reveal the chocolate filling. Cook for another minute or so until the other side is cooked through.
6. **Serve:** Remove the pancakes from the pan and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup for the ultimate indulgence.
