No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

Here’s a new favourite truffle I added to our Christmas cookie boxes this year. I’ll share with you how to make No Bake Nutella Balls covered in chocolate with a few sprinkles to make them look festive. These were so delicious. I had a hard time not eating all of them myself. You can crush the graham crackers yourself, but I just purchased a box of crumbs.

The Best Fluffy Pancakes Ever!

My family LOVES these pancakes. That's about all you need to know. Make them and you'll understand why!


The Best Fluffy Pancakes Ever!
Adapted from Allrecipes.com
Makes 10 pancakes

Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
Directions
  1. In a measuring cup, measure out the milk and add the vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes - this is a substitute for buttermilk.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients with a whisk. Make a well in the centre and add the milk mixture (it will be lumpy but it's all good). Add the eggs and butter then whisk until well combined.
  3. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Brush on some butter. Drop 3 or 4 pancakes into the pan. I use about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake but you can make them bigger if you like. Cook for a few minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, flip and continue to cook for another minute or two until the second side is golden. Set aside and continue until all the batter is done.
  4. Serve with syrup and fresh berries.
Tips:
  • Keep the pancakes warm until ready to serve, by placing an oven proof plate in a preheated 200F oven.
