Instructions
- 1 Whisk melted butter and egg yolk together in a small bowl.
- 2 Sift flour and baking powder into a large bowl; stir in sugar. Whisk in egg-butter mixture and 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk until a smooth, thick batter forms. Add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if batter is too thick.
- 3 Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a nonstick skillet over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and use a ladle to spoon 1/8 of the batter onto the hot skillet; fit as many pancakes on the skillet as possible without overcrowding. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a warm plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
- 4 Use a large, heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut a heart in the center of each pancake. Discard scraps.
- 5 Place a few chocolate pieces on top of a warm pancake and sandwich another pancake on top. Repeat with remaining pancakes and chocolate.
- 6 Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve.
