Introduction:
This chocolate chip pancake recipe is ideal for a light breakfast treat, brunch, or even a dessert. These golden treats contain bits of chocolate and are fluffy and sweet, served with a light dusting of sugar or syrup.
Ingredients:
1 and a half cups [190 grams] of all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
Quarter teaspoon of salt
Two tablespoons of sugar
One large egg
One and a quarter cups [300 milliliters] of milk
Three tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
One teaspoon of vanilla extract
Half a cup [90 grams] of chocolate chips
Extra sugar for dusting [optional]
Instructions:
Prepare the batter: In a bowl combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a different bowl combine the melted butter, vanilla extract, whisked egg, and milk.
Combine: Gradually add the wet ingredient mixture into the dry combination while stirring. Don’t overmix.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Cook the pancakes: Place a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly butter it. Pour in the pancake mixture a quarter cup at a time.
Cook until bubbles form on the pancake surface and the edges look set, around 2-3 minutes.
Flip the batter and let it cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the surface is golden.
Serve: Enjoy the pancakes while hot with a light drizzle of syrup, or do a light dust with sugar.
Little Secrets For Accomplishment:

Even heating throughout the process: Set the stove in a medium position to achieve even cooking without burning the edges of the pancakes.
Freshly prepared batter: Use batter immediately after preparing it to get the best results.
Bite size fun: You can prepare and enjoy small single serve sized pancakes.
