Preparation Steps
1
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cocoa powder, and chili powder to ensure a lump-free and light batter.
2
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk, sparkling water, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3
Melt the butter, let it cool slightly, and then whisk it into the egg mixture.
4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly with a whisk until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
5
Lightly grease a skillet with oil and heat over medium heat.
6
Pour a small ladle of batter onto the hot skillet, using a circular motion to spread it out. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the edges set and bubbles begin to form on the surface.
7
Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another minute, until golden brown.
8
Repeat the process until all the batter is used. If needed, re-grease the skillet with a little oil occasionally.
9
Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave, then stir in a pinch of chili powder for an extra spicy kick.
10
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the pancakes and sprinkle with a little chili powder for a spicy finish.
11
Serve immediately, optionally garnished with fresh fruit or whipped cream.
