Ingredients
Scale
Main Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (360 milliliters) all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons (270 milliliters) whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 cup chocolate chip morsels
- 2 teaspoons canola oil, divided, for cooking
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided, for cooking
Instructions
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, creating a light and airy dry ingredient base.
- In a separate large bowl, vigorously whisk the granulated sugar, whole milk (473 milliliters/16 fluid ounces), large egg, and completely melted unsalted butter until the mixture becomes smooth and well-incorporated.
- Gently introduce the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring carefully until just combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy, which ensures tender pancakes.
- Delicately fold in the chocolate chip morsels, distributing them evenly throughout the batter for consistent sweetness in every bite.
- Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, adding butter and cooking oil to create a perfect golden cooking surface.
- Using a measuring cup, carefully pour precise amounts of batter onto the heated skillet, allowing enough space between each pancake.
- Watch for small bubbles forming across the pancake’s surface, which signals it’s time to flip. Cook the first side until edges appear slightly dry.
- Flip the pancake and cook the reverse side until achieving a beautiful golden-brown color, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Between batches, quickly wipe the skillet with a clean paper towel to prevent burning and maintain consistent cooking temperature.
- Repeat the cooking process with remaining batter, stacking finished pancakes on a warm plate to preserve heat and texture.
Notes
- Gentle mixing prevents tough pancakes, ensuring a light and fluffy texture with every bite.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother batter and more even cooking results.
- Chocolate chips distribute best when folded in gently at the last moment before cooking.
- Medium heat is crucial for golden-brown pancakes without burning the exterior.
- Let batter rest for 2-3 minutes after mixing to allow flour to absorb liquid and improve pancake consistency.
- Wipe skillet clean between batches to prevent burnt milk solids and maintain consistent pancake color.
