TikTok Chocolate Pancake Spaghetti (Print version)

Chocolate pancake batter piped into spaghetti-like strands, cooked fast, and served with cookie crumbs, berries, syrup, or whipped cream.

# Ingredients:

For the chocolate batter

01 - 10 chocolate sandwich cookies, finely crushed, divided
02 - 1 3/4 cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
03 - 1/4 cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
04 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
05 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
06 - 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
07 - 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk, plus more as needed
08 - 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
09 - 1 large egg
10 - 3 tablespoons (42 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
11 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For cooking and serving

12 - 1-2 teaspoons butter or neutral oil, for the skillet
13 - 1 cup sliced strawberries
14 - Maple syrup, for serving
15 - Whipped cream or powdered sugar, optional

# Instructions:

01 - Pulse the cookies into fine crumbs. Set aside 2 tablespoons for topping and keep the rest for the batter.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cookie crumbs until evenly combined.
03 - In a second bowl, whisk the milk, cream, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk just until smooth. If the batter is too thick to squeeze, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it flows in a steady ribbon.
05 - Transfer the batter to a clean squeeze bottle or piping bag with a small opening. Tap out large air bubbles so the lines pipe evenly.
06 - Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and grease lightly. Pipe long zigzags or spirals of batter and cook until the tops look set, about 2 minutes.
07 - Use a wide spatula to flip the pancake strands carefully. Cook for about 1 minute more, then transfer to bowls and repeat with the remaining batter.
08 - Serve warm with the reserved cookie crumbs, sliced strawberries, maple syrup, and whipped cream or powdered sugar if using.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served warm right after cooking.
02 - Thin the batter with milk if it will not pass through the squeeze bottle.
03 - Cook in batches so the strands have room to set.
