These gluten free Mini Egg pancakes are the perfect Pancake Day or Easter treat! Fluffy pancakes with melty chunks of Mini Eggs and a chocolate ganache sauce.
Place a non-stick frying pan on a low heat and add the butter. Heat until melted then turn off the heat.
To a large mixing bowl add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir and then add the milk, buttermilk, egg and melted butter.
Using a whisk, beat the mixture together just enough so that it combines to form a thick batter with no lumps. Add in the crushed mini eggs and whisk again to combine, then leave the batter to rest for a minute.
Heat up the frying pan on a medium heat (add a tiny bit of a butter to grease if needed). Once hot, pour a ladle-full of the batter into the centre of the pan. TOP TIP: Pour the batter from 2-3 inches above the pan as this helps it spread into a more even shape.
Cook for around one minute until bubbles start to form on the top of the pancake. Use a spatula or fish slice to carefully-but-quickly flip the pancake over onto the other side. Cook for another minute.
Once cooked, you can place the pancakes on a tray in a warm oven (around 50'C) to keep warm once you cook them all.
To make the chocolate ganache topping:
Finely chop the milk chocolate. Add the double cream to a small saucepan and place on a low heat. *Just* before it comes to the boil, remove from the heat and add the chocolate, stirring until you have a smooth sauce.
Stack the pancakes, pour over the warm chocolate ganache and top with Mini Eggs. Serve straight away while still hot.

Notes
Top tip: Make sure you stir the mixture each time before you ladle it into the pan, to ensure an even distribution of Mini Eggs!
Weighing Scales vs Cups: You can toggle this recipe card to convert the ingredients into cups. However, I always recommend using weighing scales – these are cheap to buy and much more accurate. And in gluten free baking, a tiny variation can make a huge difference!
