Tips for Success
First, prepare the batter. Stir the eggs and sugar thoroughly to make the sugar completely melted, so that the pancakes will be sweet and even. Then add the milk and stir evenly, then sift in the low-gluten flour, baking powder and cocoa powder. Sifting can make the powder fine and free of particles, and stir into a smooth batter.
When processing the mold, the triangular mold should be coated with a thin layer of butter and sprinkled with a little flour in advance to facilitate demoulding and make the muffin shape more perfect.
When frying, you need to preheat to the appropriate temperature in advance, generally around 180°C, pour the batter into a frying pan and fry it. Pay attention to the expansion of the muffins and the surface color. Bake until the surface is slightly bulging and there is no sticky batter when inserted with a toothpick.
For decoration, add crushed Oreos to the whipped cream and mix well. After the muffins have cooled, squeeze them on top to add flavor and make them look better.
