Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution and remove any lumps.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, coating them lightly with the dry ingredients to prevent them from sinking during cooking.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups of milk, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter until well combined.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredient mixture.
- Using a whisk or spatula, mix the batter until just combined. Some small lumps are okay - avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes tender.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and the baking powder to activate.
- Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the heated surface, leaving space between each pancake.
- Cook until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
- Repeat the cooking process with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Serve warm with additional chocolate chips, maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries as desired.
Tips
- Sift for Success: Make sure to sift the dry ingredients together thoroughly. This ensures an even distribution of the baking powder and prevents any lumps in your batter.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine! Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.
- Rest the Batter: Letting your batter rest for about 5 minutes allows the flour to absorb the liquid fully and gives the baking powder time to activate, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
- Perfect Heat: Ensure your griddle or skillet is at medium heat. Too hot, and the pancakes will burn on the outside while remaining raw inside; too low, and they won’t brown properly.
- Keep Them Warm: As you cook, keep finished pancakes warm by covering them with a clean kitchen towel on a plate. This prevents them from cooling down too quickly.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with toppings! Add more chocolate chips, drizzle with maple syrup, or top with fresh berries and whipped cream for an extra special treat.
