Supplies Needed to Make Easy Nesquik Pancakes

To make easy Nesquik pancakes, you’ll need a few basic kitchen supplies and ingredients. You will need the ingredients listed above and something to heat the batter on. I prefer my griddle, because I can make multiple pancakes at one time and it cooks them all evenly and quickly. You could use a well buttered and heated cast iron skillet, or a regular skillet.

1. Large Mixing Bowl-For mixing your dry and wet ingredients together.
2. Measuring cups and spoons-To accurately measure the ingredients.
3. Whisk or spoon– For mixing the batter.
4. Spatula– To flip the pancakes while cooking.
5. Non-Stick skillet or griddle– To cook the pancakes. Make sure you have a large skillet. 
6. Ladle or measuring cup– To pour the pancake batter into the pan.
7. Serving Dish (optional).

Top Easy Nesquik Pancakes With…

1. Whipped Cream: Add a dollop of fresh whipped cream for a light, creamy contrast to the rich chocolate flavor. Use heavy cream or heavy whipping.
2. Fresh Berries: Serve with strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries for a refreshing and fruity balance. 
3. Chocolate Syrup or Ganache: Drizzle warm chocolate syrup or ganache for an extra indulgent touch.
4. Powdered Sugar: A dusting of powdered sugar to the top of the pancakes adds a simple yet elegant finishing touch.
5. Sliced Bananas: Pairing the chocolate pancakes with banana slices offers a classic and delicious combo.
6. Peanut Butter: Spread or drizzle peanut butter for a rich, nutty flavor that compliments the chocolate.
7. Caramel Sauce: A drizzle of caramel adds a sweet, buttery richness that pairs well with chocolate pancakes.

How do I save them for later?

You can let leftover pancakes cool and then put them in a gallon sized bag or an airtight container. You can wrap pancakes in cling wrap to keep them fresh. They can sit out for the day in the bag, but I would refrigerate them after that. We usually only have one or two left over at the most. They go pretty quickly around here. Kosher pancakes are a perfect anytime food and hungry kids can enjoy these fluffy pancakes with a light dusting of confectionery sugar and warm syrup. The best way, is your way!
