Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup white chocolate

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Powdered sugar for dusting


Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt. In another bowl, mix milk, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla, then combine with dry ingredients until smooth.

2. Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes to improve texture.

3. Heat cream and butter on low, add white chocolate, and stir until melted and smooth, then cool slightly.

4. Heat a non-stick pan on low-medium heat and pour a thin layer of batter, shaping gently.

5. Cook until lightly golden, flip carefully, and cook the other side briefly.

6. Repeat until all batter is used.

7. Add a spoon of filling onto one piece and sandwich with another.

8. Press gently to spread filling evenly.

9. Let cool for 10–15 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar and serve.

Notes

Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor.

Keep heat low to avoid over-browning the delicate layers.

Ensure batter is smooth and not too thick for a soft texture.
