Method

Pancake Batter

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Both 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

    Fold in Chocolate Chips

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

Cooking Pancakes

  1. 5

    Preheat the Pan

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

  2. 6

    Cook the Pancakes

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

  3. 7

    Flip the Pancakes

    Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 8

    Keep Warm

    Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining pancakes.

Whipped Butter

  1. 9

    Prepare Whipped Butter

    In a bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with an electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and smooth.

Serving

  1. 10

    Serve the Pancakes

    Stack the pancakes on plates, top with whipped butter, and drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
