Nutella Stuffed Pancakes with Irish Whipped Cream

INGREDIENTS

For the Pancakes:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½nteaspoon kosher salt
• 1 ½ cups buttermilk
• 2 eggs
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup Nutella
• Raspberries, powdered sugar and or pure maple syrup, for serving

For the Irish Whipped Cream:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2-4 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the buttermilk, eggs, butter, and vanilla. Mix the batter until just combined. It's OK if there are lumps in the batter. Cover the batter and set aside for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, make the whipped cream. Whip the cream in the bowl of a stand mixer on high until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Add the Baileys and powdered sugar and whip another 30 seconds or until combined.
3. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter, or spray with cooking spray. Pour a little less then 1/4 cup pancake batter on the center of the hot pan and gently spread the batter to form a circle. Add a tablespoon of Nutella to the center of each pancake. Spoon about 1 tablespoon batter over the Nutella. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Using a spatula, gently flip the pancake over and cook the other side for about a minute, or until golden. Repeat with the remaining batter.
4. Serve with whipped cream, raspberries, maple syrup and or powdered sugar. Enjoy!
