Method

Pancake Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Fold in Chocolate Chips

    Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  5. 5

    Cook Pancakes

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 more minutes.

  6. 6

    Stack Pancakes

    Once cooked, stack the pancakes in groups of three on a plate.

Banana Whipped Cream Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Banana

    Peel and slice the banana. Place slices in a bowl.

  2. 8

    Whip Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.

  3. 9

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the sliced banana, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue whipping until combined and fluffy.

  4. 10

    Top Pancakes

    Spoon the banana whipped cream generously over the stacked pancakes.

Serving

  1. 11
