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, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to ensure even distribution and a light texture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter. Stir the mixture until smooth and just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes tender.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter, making sure they are evenly dispersed without breaking them.
- Heat Pan: Preheat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the pancakes.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour or scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, or additional chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Use a non-stick pan or griddle for easier flipping and cooking.
- Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- For dairy-free options, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
- Chocolate chips can be replaced with nuts or fruit according to preference.
