Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Add Chocolate Chips (Optional)

    If desired, fold in the chocolate chips into the batter.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Preheat Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

  2. 6

    Cook Pancakes

    For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 7

    Flip and Finish Cooking

    Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 8

    Repeat

    Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve Hot

    Stack the pancakes on a plate, top with butter, and drizzle with warm maple syrup. Enjoy!
