Chocolate Toblerone Pancakes

Chocolate Toblerone Pancakes

Good morning all! I'm back from a bit of an extended vacation which was followed by the entertaining of many visiting relatives from Alberta and Ontario this summer. Things are slowly returning to normal at my house but they never stay normal for long. ;)

My email inbox was full of inquiries from loyal readers who seemed genuinely worried that I had given up on my blog but such is not the case, I still have a long list of recipes that I haven't gotten to yet and ideas yet to be tried. I will still continue to upload recipes as time allows but things will inevitably slow down a little around here since I am making some big changes in my life and returning to school in September. No mid-life crisis here; just my personal circumstances dictate a change in occupation and it's back to the books for me for the next 3 years. I'm looking forward to new challenges and it is a bit of a hoot at 42 to decide what you want to be when you grow up! LOL!

I was preparing a couple of grilling recipes to add to the blog this morning when my 10 year daughter Olivia started experimenting with breakfast. This is totally her idea and I can't take any credit for it. I don't know if this qualifies as a breakfast food or a dessert but they were absolutely delicious, I must admit, so I say eat 'em when you like.

Thanks again for all the encouragement to continue with this blog. On to today's recipe:

Chop 6 ounces of Toblerone bar into small pieces.

Sift together:

1 & 2/3 cups flour
½ cup cocoa
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
¼ cup sugar
½ tsp salt

Add

1 beaten egg
1 & 3/4 cups milk
2 tbsp melted butter

Whisk together just until blended. Mixture should not be too thin.

Pour batter by ¼ cup measures onto a preheated oiled griddle pan and sprinkle each pancake with chopped Toblerone pieces. When bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, flip them and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Serve with your choice of whipped cream or chocolate syrup or both. Makes about 12 large pancakes.
