40 mins prep, standing and cooking | Serves 6

Ingredients

Chocolate pancakes

• 2 cups self-raising flour
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup caster sugar
• 600ml buttermilk
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 50g butter, melted
• spray oil
• Raspberries, grated chocolate, to serve

Chocolate custard

• 2 egg yolks
• ¼ cup caster sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornflour
• 3/4 cup milk
• ½ cup cream
• 100 gram dark chocolate, melted

Method

1. Sift flour and cocoa together into a large bowl. Stir in sugar. Whisk in the buttermilk, eggs and butter. Stand for 30 minutes.
2. To make the chocolate custard, whisk yolks, sugar and cornflour together in a medium bowl. Bring combined milk and cream to the boil in a saucepan on medium heat. Remove from heat. Gradually whisk into yolk mixture. Return custard mixture to saucepan.
3. Stir in chocolate. Heat, constantly stirring, on a low heat until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Do not boil. Take custard off heat. Spray a large frying pan with oil and heat on medium.
4. Cook ¼-cup measures of pancake mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on surface. Turn and cook for a further 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter, spraying the pan with oil as required.
5. Serve warm pancakes drizzled with chocolate custard. Sprinkle with berries and grated chocolate.
