Fluffy Buttermilk Chocolate Chip Pancakes

This morning we decided to make buttermilk chocolate chip pancakes again. The recipe is really easy (which is something I aim for in all my recipes - great results but not too complicated to get them).


We don't have a griddle, so we just use 2 frying pans. The secret we have found to making them perfect is to cool each pan down once it has been used. If we kept reusing the pan, without cooling it down, it was too hot and would scorch the pancake and leave the middle uncooked. I also opt to use my electric mixer to get the batter just right.

Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 1 cup of flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons butter (soft)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
• oil/cooking spray for pan(s)

Directions:

• Beat egg
• Add buttermilk and beat again
• Add butter and vanilla extract, beat again
• Add all dry ingredients, beat again
• Fold in chocolate chips
• Coat pan with oil, set to medium heat
• Drop 2 tablespoons of batter onto pan for each pancake. Do not flip pancakes until bubbles start to form on the top of the pancake and they pop
