Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
- Additional butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed (the batter should remain slightly lumpy). Fold in the chocolate chips. - Heat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil, coating the surface evenly. - Cook the Pancakes:
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges start to set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook the other side until golden brown (1-2 minutes). Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter or oil as needed. - Serve:
Serve the pancakes warm, stacked on a plate. Top with maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh berries, or extra chocolate chips for added flavor.
