Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chocolate chip morsels
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml/12 fl oz) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup + 2 tbsps (270 ml/9 fl oz) whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 ½ tsps baking powder
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter, divided, for cooking
- 2 tsps canola oil, divided, for cooking
- 2 tbsps granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, creating a light, uniform dry ingredient foundation.
- Wet Mixture: Whisk granulated sugar, whole milk, large egg, and melted unsalted butter in a separate bowl until smooth and thoroughly integrated.
- Batter Formation: Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring minimally to maintain a slightly lumpy texture that ensures tender pancakes. Gently incorporate chocolate chip morsels, distributing evenly for consistent sweetness.
- Cooking Surface: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium temperature, adding butter and cooking oil to create an optimal golden cooking surface.
- Pancake Crafting: Pour measured batter onto the heated skillet, leaving adequate space between each pancake. Allow bubbles to form across the surface, indicating readiness to flip. Cook first side until edges appear dry, then turn and brown the opposite side for 1-2 minutes.
- Batch Management: Between pancake preparations, quickly clean the skillet with a paper towel to prevent burning and maintain consistent cooking temperature. Stack finished pancakes on a warm plate to preserve heat and texture.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir batter until just combined, keeping slight lumps to ensure fluffy, tender pancakes that aren’t tough or rubbery.
- Control Heat Consistency: Maintain medium heat to achieve perfectly golden-brown pancakes without burning or undercooking the centers.
- Watch Bubble Signals: Look for small bubbles across the surface as your natural flip indicator, guaranteeing ideal cooking timing.
- Clean Skillet Between Batches: Quickly wipe pan with paper towel to prevent burnt residue and maintain even cooking temperature for each pancake.
