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, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and white sugar thoroughly to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and flavor.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Fold in the chocolate chips carefully to distribute them evenly.
- Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Pancakes: For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve Warm: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like syrup, extra butter, or fresh fruit.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Use a non-stick pan or well-seasoned griddle for best results.
- Adjust cooking heat as necessary to avoid burning.
- Chocolate chips can be substituted with nuts or berries for variation.
- For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
