Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt thoroughly to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, the large egg, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring they are evenly dispersed without breaking them.
- Preheat Griddle: Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour Batter: Scoop small amounts of batter onto the hot griddle, spacing them apart to give room for spreading.
- Cook First Side: Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and Cook Second Side: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Serve the mini chocolate chip pancakes warm with your favorite syrup or toppings for a delightful breakfast experience.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay for fluffy pancakes.
- Use medium heat to avoid burning the pancakes before they cook through.
- Mini chocolate chips distribute more evenly and melt nicely without overpowering the pancake.
- Optionally, add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- These pancakes freeze well; reheat in a toaster or microwave.
