Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp white sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter
Additional
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and white sugar until well combined to create the pancake base.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the milk and melted butter until fully incorporated.
- Make the Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently using a spoon or spatula just until combined; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy, avoid overmixing to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly into the batter, ensuring they are well distributed.
- Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove pancakes from skillet and serve immediately with your choice of syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain the fluffiness of the pancakes.
- Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning; medium heat works best for even cooking.
- For extra moisture, you can substitute some milk with buttermilk if desired.
- Make sure your skillet is properly preheated before pouring batter to ensure nice golden pancakes.
- Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a toaster or microwave.
