Start by making the pancakes – Mix the flour, sugar and baking powder in a bowl, before adding the beaten eggs and buttermilk, whisking together until smooth. Add nutmeg and cinnamon, mixing continuously to keep smooth consistency.
Add melted butter slowly, and whisk.
Leave it to rest (if you have time) to become aerated.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan on moderate heat. Add a touch of clarified butter into the pan.
Add a small ladle of batter to the pan. Cook for about three min, until bubbles appear on the surface. Then turn pancake over and cook for a further three minutes.
Transfer the pancake to a plate and keep warm, while making the rest of the pancakes.
Slightly melt 70g of chocolate in separate bowl.
Now heat the griddle with a small amount of butter. Cook each side lightly, until golden colour. Add chocolate to one side on the pancake and cook until chocolate seeps.
Take off heat and repeat. Sandwich chocolate pancake sides together, stacking on-top of one another (as high as you want!), dust with cinnamon, then pour melted remaining chocolate over, and scoop of ice cream. Enjoy!
