A fun twist on pancakes—soft, fluffy eggless pancakes folded into a warm, gooey Nutella-filled empanada. Perfect for quick desserts or indulgent breakfasts.

What is Pancake Empanada?

It’s a thick, soft pancake cooked on one side, then filled with Nutella and folded into a semicircle—like an empanada with a dessert twist.

Main Ingredients:

For Pancake Batter (Eggless):

1. Maida – 1 cup
2. Sugar – 2 tbsp
3. Baking powder – 1 tsp
4. Salt – a pinch
5. Milk – ¾–1 cup
6. Oil – 1 tbsp

For Filling:

1. Nutella – as needed

2. Butter – for cooking

How to make Pancake Empanada

1. In a bowl, mix maida, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk and oil, whisk into a smooth, lump-free batter (slightly thick).

2. Heat a pan with butter, pour a ladle of batter, cover and cook on low-medium heat until bubbles form and the base is set (cook only one side).

3. Take the pancake out, place a dollop of Nutella in the center. Fold into a semicircle and pinch the edges to seal like an empanada.

4. Serve warm while the Nutella is still gooey and melted.

Expert Tips:

1. Keep the pancake slightly thick so it holds the filling well.

2. Don’t overcook—softness is key for easy folding.
