Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Main ingredient for the pancake batter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar Adds sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Leavening agent
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Helps the pancakes rise
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor
Wet Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk Adds moisture and tang
  • 1 large egg Binds the ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter Adds richness
Mix-ins
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips For that sweet chocolate flavor
For Cooking
  • Butter or oil For greasing the skillet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to combine the dry ingredients.
  2. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until blended.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease with a little butter or oil.
  2. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
  3. Stack your pancakes on a plate, and add your favorite toppings like maple syrup, whipped cream, or additional chocolate chips.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding nuts, bananas, or a hint of vanilla. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
