Chip Pancakes Recipe

CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES

1. 1

   Prep dry ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using) until evenly distributed.

2. 2

   Whisk wet ingredients

   In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

3. 3

   Combine wet and dry

   Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir with a few folds until just combined and the batter is slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.

4. 4

   Fold in chocolate chips

   Fold the semisweet chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring an even distribution without overworking the batter.

5. 5

   Rest batter

   Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes to relax the gluten and thicken slightly, which helps produce tender pancakes.

6. 6

   Prepare griddle

   Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or oil to prevent sticking.

7. 7

   Cook pancakes

   For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry, about 2 to 3 minutes.

8. 8

   Flip and finish

   Carefully flip the pancake and cook until the second side is golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning.

9. 9

   Serve

   Stack pancakes and serve warm with maple syrup, extra chocolate chips, fresh fruit, or your preferred toppings.
