Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 2: Heat the Griddle
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- To test if the skillet is ready, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface. If they sizzle and evaporate quickly, the skillet is hot enough.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Leave enough space between pancakes to allow for spreading.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Serve
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or additional chocolate chips.
Enjoy!
These chocolate chip pancakes are fluffy, delicious, and perfect for any breakfast or brunch. Enjoy them with family and friends for a delightful start to your day!
