Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk at room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
For Serving:
  • Butter
  • Maple syrup (if desired)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Griddle or Non-Stick Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Stepwise Method:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Place a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter to grease the surface.
  6. Using a measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
  7. Remove the pancakes from the griddle and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with butter and maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Let your batter rest for about 5 minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes.
  • Ensure your buttermilk is at room temperature for the best results.
  • Experiment with different types of chocolate chips for varied flavors.
