Chocolate Chip Pancakes I
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (250 ml / 8.5 oz) non-skim milk
- 1¼ cups (170 g / 6 oz) flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 ea. (100 g) eggs
- 6 oz (170 g) semisweet chocolate chips, or less to taste
- Butter, for cooking
Steps
- Combine butter and milk in a small saucepan.
- Warm over low heat just until butter melts. Cool slightly.
- Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Whisk eggs with a fork in a large bowl. Whisk in milk mixture.
- Add dry ingredients. Mix just until barely blended.
- Add chocolate chips and mix.
- Heat griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
- Add about 1 teaspoon butter. Melt until bubbly.
- Ladle 3 tablespoons batter per pancake onto hot surface. Cook until bubbly on top and golden brown on bottom.
- Flip. Cook until golden brown, about 30 seconds more.
- Repeat until batter is used.
- Serve hot.
Notes from the original
- Use bleached instead of unbleached flour to make a more tender pancake.
- If using salted butter, reduce salt to ¼ teaspoon.
- You can substitute 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (or vinegar) in milk for the buttermilk.
- Pancake batter should pour, not glug! On the other hand, runny batter makes thin, oddly shaped pancakes that frequently collide on the griddle. Stir in a touch more flour into thin batter. For batter that's too thick, whisk in water, a teaspoon at a time.
- The temperature of the pan or griddle is important: too hot and the pancakes are dark and raw; too cool and they're blond and hard. For tender, golden brown pancakes, heat the pan or griddle on low while you make the batter. Then increase the heat to medium and generously brush the pan or griddle with oil. It's ready when the oil starts to shimmer and, in any skillet or griddle other than non-stick, sends out tendrils that resemble an octopus or spider. But if the pan starts to smoke, set it down off the burner until the smoking subsides and the oil cools a bit.
