"2 Celebrations in 1"!

This is "National Pancake Day" and "World Nutella Day"!  What do you mean, you don't know what Nutella is?  In my opinion, it is the best improvement to Peanut Butter ever invented!  It is peanut butter (actually Hazelnuts) whipped up with chocolate.  To celebrate these 2 special days in one recipe, I offer this:
Farmer Boy Nutella Pancakes
Ingredients:
  • 1 1/4 Cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 Cup of whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 Cup of quick oats
  • 1 Tablepoon of brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 Cup of whole milk
  • 1 Cup of butter milk
  • 1/4 Cup of water
  • 1/2 Cup of Nutella
Directions: In a large bowl, stir all the dry ingredients together.  Mix in the wet ingredients.  Cover and let this mixture rest and rise in the bowl at least 15 minutes.
Drop, by 1/3 cup, onto a lightly oiled griddle, over medium heat.
Cook on first side, till bubbles break on top.  Flip the pancake and continue to cook on the other side, till lightly browned - check center to be sure it is fully cooked.

 You could serve this with any of your favorite syrups, or even spread more Nutella on top of each pancake. You might want to use Sourdough for this recipe.  That recipe is found in my archives.
If you are serving these to children, you may have to make a double batch!   These are not your Mama's pancakes!  :)

I would like to know what you think of this recipe - so, if you make it, please come back here and leave your comments.  Thanks. The Old Man in the Bib Overalls
