Description
These are the quintessential pancakes. They’re amazing without the chocolate chips, but who doesn’t love an excuse to sneak in a bit of chocolate for breakfast?!
Ingredients
- 2 whole Eggs
- 2 cups Buttermilk (See Note)
- 4 Tablespoons Butter, Melted And Cooled, Plus Additional Butter For Cooking Pancakes
- ¼ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ cups Chocolate Chips
Preparation
Note: To make 2 cups of buttermilk, combine just under 2 cups milk with 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Let sit for 5 minutes, stir and incorporate.
Beat the eggs in a large bowl. To the eggs, add the buttermilk, butter and vanilla and whisk until thoroughly combined. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients in 2 or 3 additions, stirring until just incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips.
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Spread a bit of butter over the warm skillet. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. When the top of the pancake begins to bubble and pop, flip the pancake and cook 2-3 minutes on the other other side. Once the bottom is golden grown, remove from the skillet and serve warm.
Note: To keep pancakes warm while preparing a large batch, transfer pancakes to a heat-safe dish and cover with foil. Place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees F.
