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
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agent and prevents lumps.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter. Stir the mixture gently until smooth and just combined; be careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Stir in Chocolate Chips: Fold the chocolate chips into the batter carefully so they are evenly dispersed without deflating the batter.
- Heat the Griddle: Preheat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat, ensuring it’s hot enough for pancakes to cook evenly.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour or scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, or extra chocolate chips for an indulgent breakfast experience.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain light and fluffy pancakes.
- You can substitute milk with plant-based alternatives for a dairy-free option.
- Use a non-stick pan or griddle for easier flipping and cleanup.
- Adjust the amount of chocolate chips to your preference.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
