This delightful dessert combines the sweetness of condensed milk with the creamy richness of brigadeiro, creating a treat that will surely become a favorite in your household. Let’s dive into the recipe step by step.
Ingredients:
For the Pancakes:
- 395 grams of condensed milk
- 200 milliliters of boiling water
- 1 tablespoon of oil
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of flour
- Butter for brushing the pan
For the Brigadeiro Filling:
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Pancake Batter
- Mix Condensed Milk and Water:
- Begin by adding 395 grams of condensed milk to 200 milliliters of boiling water. Stir continuously while it’s boiling until the mixture gains consistency. The condensed milk will dissolve in the boiling water, creating a rich, thick base for your pancake batter.
- Cool and Transfer:
- After turning off the heat, remove the mixture from the stove and transfer it to another dish. This allows it to cool slightly and thicken further, ensuring a better texture for your pancakes.
- Add Oil and Egg:
- Add one tablespoon of oil to the mixture and stir well to incorporate. Then, add one egg and mix until fully combined. The oil and egg add richness and help bind the batter together.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- Add one teaspoon of salt and one cup of flour to the mixture. Mix until you have a smooth batter with no lumps. The salt enhances the flavor, while the flour gives structure to the pancakes.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
- Prepare the Pan:
- Brush a non-stick pan with butter and heat it over medium heat. The butter adds flavor and prevents the pancakes from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Using a spoon, add small amounts of the batter to the pan, forming pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat this process until all the batter is used. Each pancake should be light, fluffy, and slightly golden.
Step 3: Prepare the Brigadeiro Filling
- Make the Brigadeiro:
- In a medium saucepan, combine one can of sweetened condensed milk, two tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, and one tablespoon of butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. This process usually takes about 10-15 minutes. The brigadeiro should be thick enough to hold its shape when spread.
- Cool the Brigadeiro:
- Allow the brigadeiro to cool slightly before using. If you prefer, you can add sprinkles to the mixture for added texture and flavor.
Step 4: Assemble the Pancakes
- Spread the Brigadeiro:
- Take each cooked pancake and spread a generous amount of brigadeiro over it. The warm, thick brigadeiro will spread easily over the soft pancakes, creating a delicious layer of chocolate goodness.
- Roll the Pancakes:
- Roll each pancake up and place it on a serving plate. The rolled pancakes should hold their shape and be filled with the rich, chocolatey brigadeiro.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Final Touch:
- Optionally, you can drizzle some more brigadeiro on top of the rolled pancakes or dust them with powdered sugar. This adds an extra layer of sweetness and makes the presentation even more appealing.
- Serve:
- Serve the pancakes warm and enjoy the rich, sweet flavors. These pancakes are perfect for a special breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
Tips for the Perfect Pancakes
- Consistent Heat: Maintain a consistent medium heat while cooking the pancakes to ensure they cook evenly without burning.
- Smooth Batter: Ensure the batter is smooth and free of lumps for a perfect texture.
- Generous Filling: Don’t skimp on the brigadeiro filling – it’s what makes these pancakes so special!
Variations
- Different Fillings: Try different fillings like Nutella, jam, or dulce de leche for variety. Each filling can bring a unique flavor profile to your pancakes.
- Toppings: Add fresh fruits, whipped cream, or nuts as toppings for an extra layer of flavor and texture. Fresh strawberries, bananas, or a dollop of whipped cream can complement the rich chocolate filling beautifully.
