You’ll start with a basic buttermilk pancake batter, which gives that signature fluffy texture.Mixing in a generous amount of chocolate chips ensures that each bite is filled with melty, chocolatey goodness.Be sure to heat your griddle to medium and use a bit of butter to keep the pancakes from sticking.Add a bit of cocoa powder to your batter for an extra rich chocolate flavor.Serve them warm with a drizzle of syrup and a dollop of whipped cream for the perfect finish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Mix until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined without over-mixing.
Fold in the chocolate chips slowly to ensure they’re evenly spread throughout the batter.
Heat a non-stick pan, skillet, or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to prevent sticking. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the heated pan.
Cook each pancake until small bubbles form on the surface, then flip carefully and cook until golden brown.
