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, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and white sugar until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk and melted butter, stirring until well mixed.
- Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold the chocolate chips into the batter evenly.
- Preheat Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges are set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the pancakes carefully and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through, about another 2 minutes.
- Serve Warm: Remove pancakes from the skillet and serve immediately with your favorite syrup, butter, or additional chocolate chips.
Notes
- For extra fluffy pancakes, do not overmix your batter.
- Use a non-stick pan or lightly grease your skillet to prevent sticking.
- You can substitute milk with a plant-based alternative for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the chocolate chip quantity to your taste preference.
- Serve with fresh fruit or nuts for added texture and flavor.
