- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Use room temperature milk and eggs for better mixing.
- If you prefer smaller pancakes, use 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake.
