Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips semisweet or milk chocolate
  • Butter or cooking spray for greasing the pan

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Ensure an even distribution of the dry ingredients.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Create Batter:
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix; a few lumps are acceptable for fluffy pancakes.
  • Add Chocolate Chips:
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips into the pancake batter, distributing them evenly for a delightful chocolatey bite in every pancake.
  • Preheat the Pan:
  • Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or use cooking spray to coat the surface.
  • Cook Pancakes:
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Allow them to cook until bubbles form on the surface, and the edges look set.
  • Flip and Cook:
  • Carefully flip each pancake with a spatula and cook the other side until it achieves a golden brown color and is cooked through.
  • Keep Warm:
  • Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate or a baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel to keep them warm while you finish the remaining batter.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
  • Serve the Chocolate Chip Pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, additional chocolate chips, or whipped cream. Enjoy the delectable combination of fluffy pancakes and gooey chocolate!
  • Optional Garnish:
  • For an extra touch, garnish with fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
