Food Porn: Chocolate Pancakes

Starting with a long, slow warmup... she runs her tongue up and down... and licks gently. Lowering her head, she takes it further in... tingles of pleasure rush through her. She brings it to the back of her throat, with her tongue still roaming. Slowly raising back up, she starts all over again. She bends over, and goes on for the next 15 minutes —clearly demonstrating outstanding skills. She lubricates it to her satisfaction. She gets increasingly breathless, but continues yearning for more. Emitting soft moans, she increases speed.

She feels a surge of warm liquid exploding in her mouth. Carelessly, she allows the thick and sticky load to leak, out of her mouth, and down onto her chin. What a big mouthful, she thought. Licking the last drops of sweetness until completely clean, she sits on the kitchen floor in post-orgasmic bliss. It all started with a plate of chocolatey pancakes, drizzled with white chocolate sauce.

Chocolate Pancakes with Rose-Flavoured White Chocolate Sauce

White Chocolate Sauce

• 20ml rose water

• 1 block/250g white chocolate roughly chopped

• 200ml cream

Spiced Chocolate Pancake

• 2 cups milk

• 2 eggs

• 1 cup cocoa powder, sifted

• 1/4 cup caster sugar

• 2 cups self-raising flour, sifted

• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

• 1/2 tsp baking soda (not baking powder)

• 1/3 cup melted butter (+ 2 extra tbsp to grease cooking pan)

Extra

• Fresh strawberries for garnish; 1/2 cup icing sugar for dusting

Method

1) To make the white chocolate sauce, first place white chocolate pieces in a mixing bowl and set aside.

2) Combine cream and rose water in a pot over low heat.

3) When it starts to simmer, remove from heat, pour over the chocolate pieces, and whisk 'til smooth and well incorporated. Set aside 'til you are ready to plate.

4) For the pancakes, combine flour, cocoa powder, caster sugar, baking soda, and cayenne pepper in a large mixing bowl. Whisk eggs and milk in a separate bowl before combining with the dry ingredients. Mix in melted butter.

5) Heat a nonstick (or teflon) pan over medium heat and brush with a tiny bit of melted butter.

6) Using a ladle, drop the pancake mixture in the heated pan.

7) This pancake mixture is relatively thick. To get a nice round shape, allow it to spread on its own as you drop the mixture towards its centre.

8) Cook for approximately 2 minutes on each side.

9) Repeat the steps and remember to grease the pan each time you are cooking a new piece.

10) To plate, stack pancakes with a spoon of white chocolate sauce in between each layer. Garnish with strawberries , drizzle more white chocolate sauce on top, and dust icing sugar over with a small sieve.
