Batter for Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Syrup, Toppings & Assembly

Method

Batter for Chocolate Chip Pancakes

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, and vanilla until smooth; whisk in melted butter.

  3. 3

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

  4. 4

    Fold in the chocolate chips gently to distribute them without bursting. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

  6. 6

    For each pancake, ladle about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet; cook until bubbles form on top and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes; flip and cook a further 1-2 minutes until golden.

Syrup, Toppings & Assembly

  1. 7

    In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, honey, and orange zest; simmer over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 4-6 minutes; whisk in the butter until glossy.

  2. 8

    Stack warm chocolate chip pancakes on plates; drizzle with the orange-honey syrup and dust with powdered sugar.

  3. 9

    Serve immediately, optionally with extra chocolate chips sprinkled on top and a few citrus segments for brightness.
