CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES

Method

CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES

  1. 1

    Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 3.5 teaspoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon salt.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup milk, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; fold in 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips.

  5. 5

    For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle. Drizzle 1 teaspoon cajeta into the center of each pancake and gently swirl it into the batter with the edge of a spatula.

  6. 6

    Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1–2 minutes more.

  7. 7

    Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate. Repeat with remaining batter.

  8. 8

    Warm the remaining cajeta sauce slightly if needed and drizzle 2 tablespoons over each pancake stack; serve with extra cajeta on the side if desired.
