Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- 2
Make a well in the middle by moving the flour to the sides, then pour in the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Use a fork to whisk the egg first, then mix it into the liquid ingredients and slowly combine them with the dry ingredients to make the batter. Mix until there's no visible flour left, but stop mixing as soon as you can to avoid chewy pancakes.

Add the chocolate chips to the bowl, and gently fold them into the batter with a silicone spatula, just enough to distribute them and cover them in batter.

Heat a non-stick griddle or large pan over medium heat. Once hot, grease, spray, or melt butter on the hot surface. Immediately, pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the greased pan. Cook the pancakes for about 2 minutes, until the edges look defined and bubbles form. Flip the pancakes over and cook for another minute on the other side.

Remove the pancakes from the pan onto a plate, cover them or keep them warm in a 200F oven on a sheet pan while you cook the rest. If you grease the pan with butter and it browns quickly, the heat is too hot. Rinse the pan between batches if needed to cool it down.
