For Cooking
Method
Pancake Batter
- 1
Preheat and dry ingredients
Preheat a nonstick griddle or large skillet over medium heat (about 350°F/175°C). In a large bowl whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Wet ingredients
In a separate medium bowl whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogeneous.

Combine batter
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined—small lumps are fine. Do not overmix. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes; this relaxes the gluten and yields tender pancakes.

Cook pancakes
Using a 1/4-cup measure, pour batter onto the hot surface leaving space between pancakes. Cook until bubbles appear across the surface and edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat, adding more oil or butter as needed, to make about 10 to 12 pancakes (depending on size). Keep finished pancakes warm on a plate in a low oven (200°F/95°C) or covered with foil.
Toppings & Assembly

Prepare fruit
While pancakes cook, slice bananas and hull and slice strawberries. If using toasted hazelnuts, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, shaking frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned; chop roughly and set aside.

Assemble pancakes
Stack 2–3 pancakes per serving on plates. Spread a thin layer of warm Nutella between layers if desired, or spoon warm Nutella over the top of the stack. Arrange sliced bananas and strawberries on top and around the pancakes.

Finish and serve
Sprinkle chopped toasted hazelnuts over the top for crunch and dust with powdered sugar if using. Serve with maple syrup on the side for people who want extra sweetness. Serve immediately while pancakes and Nutella are warm.
