Make Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Who says you can't have chocolate for breakfast? The scrumptious, delectable taste of chocolate combined with the oh-so-wonderful aromas and textures of a pancake make for a delicious breakfast meal.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- Sugar (optional)
- A pinch of salt (optional)
- 1 cup milk (substitute with buttermilk for richer pancakes)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Steps
- Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Add milk to dry ingredients and mix.
- Beat eggs into mixture and beat just long enough to evenly distribute them throughout and make sure all lumps are gone.
- Add chocolate chips and mix until well distributed.
- Allow mix to rest for 4 to 5 minutes.
- While the mix is resting, start heating a pan' at medium to medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil (see for oil substitutes) to pan.
- Sprinkle water on the pan to test. When water sizzles away quickly, bring temperature down to medium low.
- Pour 1/4 cup of mix into the skillet, making sure to leave space in between each;they will spread.
- Flip when bubbles have stopped and bottom of pancake is golden brown.
- Allow to cook until both sides are golden brown.
- Place on a plate and let cool for 1 minute.
- Serve with syrup, whipped cream, and any other treats you can think of.
- Enjoy!
Tips
- Using the above amounts will make enough for about two people.
- As a substitute for using oil to grease the pan, try butter, margarine, or cooking spray.
- Just double, triple, or quadruple the recipe ingredients if you need to feed more people.
- Try using a dry measuring cup with a spout to measure the 1/4 cup of batter needed for each pancake. This will create uniform pancakes, and be less messy than trying to pour from the larger mixing bowl.
Warnings
- Over-beating the pancake batter can result in tough pancakes that aren't fluffy. Make sure to only mix enough to get the ingredients together.
- The skillet will be hot, so this recipe should not be followed by children without adult supervision.
- Don't add too much milk or the batter will become too watery resulting in pancakes that don't really cook.
