Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir to blend evenly.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Combine mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently just until the batter comes together and no large streaks of flour remain; do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter to distribute evenly without overmixing.
- Preheat skillet: Heat a large non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
- Cook pancakes: Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the skillet to form each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
- Flip pancakes: Flip each pancake carefully and cook until the other side is golden brown and cooked through, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm topped with extra butter and maple syrup for a classic finish.
- Enjoy: Devour these fluffy, chocolate-studded pancakes with your favorite breakfast sides or on their own.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; it’s okay if it’s a bit lumpy to keep pancakes tender.
- If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk to get a pourable consistency.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for best results and easy flipping.
- Serve immediately for best texture, or keep warm in a low oven.
