Chocolate pancakes

4 servings

30 minutes

Chocolate pancakes are a refined version of traditional Russian pancakes filled with the rich aroma of cocoa. The combination of bitter chocolate and tender dough creates a harmony of flavors where the sweetness of sugar softens the slight bitterness of chocolate. Historically, such dishes may have originated as a homey way to add a touch of luxury to simple baking, especially on cold winter days. These pancakes pair perfectly with sour cream, berries, or nuts, transforming into a full dessert. They can be served for breakfast or during cozy family tea times. Frying in vegetable oil gives them an appetizing golden crust, making each piece crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
