Chocolate Chip Pancakes

I know that I have mentioned this before, but I love the weekends for the fact that I have more time in the kitchen…and time to make a delicious breakfast. I have never made pancakes without the help of Bisquick, but I had a craving for chocolate chip pancakes. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy homemade pancakes are to make, and how fluffy and delicious they taste. My husband woke up to the smell of freshly made pancakes and warm syrup, and we both sat eating the most amazing pancakes we have ever had.

The original recipe, which I have posted below makes approximately 14-15 pancakes, therefore I halved the recipe and made 7 pancakes. Just thinking about it, makes me want to whip up a batch right now…I actually think I may.

Recipe type: Breakfast
Prep time: 
Cook time: 
Total time: 

Serves: 14 pancakes
 

Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 4 tbsp. butter, melted and cooled
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½-¾ cup chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet)

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
  2. Whisk in the buttermilk, butter and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  3. Add in the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  4. Mix just until incorporated.
  5. Preheat the oven to 200° F.
  6. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat.
  7. Melt a thin pat of butter in the pan and spread it around.
  8. Once the bottom of the pan has been covered, wipe the butter out gently with a paper towel so that only a very thin film remains.
  9. Drop scoops of batter of your desired size into the pan.
  10. Add desired amount of chocolate chips to each pancake.
  11. Cook the first side until bubbles form on the surface and begin to pop, and the bottom is golden brown.
  12. Flip gently with a spatula and cook again until cooked through and golden brown on both sides.
  13. Transfer the cooked pancakes to an oven-safe dish in the warmed oven and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
  14. Serve immediately.

There are many different facets of interest in my personal and professional life. My passion for baking has developed over the past several years; I love the satisfaction of sharing my delicious treats with friends and family. My sweet tooth, and love of baking is quite contradictory of my profession. I am a dentist, and currently a post-doctoral student, studying a dental specialty. My other interest is health and fitness...again...quite controversial of my baked goods..but, I believe....all things in moderation. I enjoy running and working out, and even making healthy entrees for my husband and I. After following several other food blogs, I decided, that this would be a new hobby. I am passionate about everything I take part in, and hope that you enjoy this blog and that it inspires you to make each day delicious with homemade prepared meals....and desserts :)
