Classic Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Classic Chocolate Chip Pancakes are one of our favorite breakfast dishes. In fact, I’ve probably cooked these pancakes more than I’ve cooked any other recipe. Since, when my girls were little, they wanted these pancakes every day. We all still love these pancakes for several reasons. First of all, I like that I can make these pancakes in less than thirty minutes. Secondly, I like that I can make these pancakes ahead of time. I just mix up the batter when I have time and cook them before serving. Thirdly, I like that I can reheat the leftover cooked pancakes in a three hundred fifty- degree oven. And, finally, we all love the sweet and yummy flavors in these pancakes.
The Equipment I Used
- A Food Scale- For perfect pancakes every time, please weigh your flour.
- A Nonstick Skillet- I use this to cook my pancakes.
The Ingredients Needed for Classic Chocolate Chip Pancakes
- Flour- Use all- purpose flour. I like King Arthur brand flour.
- Sugar- Be sure to use granulated sugar. I always use the Domino brand.
- Milk- Use whole milk, not low fat or fat free.
- Sour Cream- Use full fat sour cream, or whole milk Greek yogurt.
- Butter- I always use Kerry Gold Irish butter.
- Chocolate Chips- My kids prefer mini chocolate chips. But, that’s one of the ingredients I can’t seem to find lately. Today I used the delicious Guittard full size chocolate chips.
How I Made my Chocolate Chip Pancakes
- First, I sifted together all the dry ingredients. If you don’t sift them, the baking powder will give a bitter taste to your pancakes.
- Next, I combined all the wet ingredients and stirred them into the dry ingredients.
- Finally, I melted butter in my skillet and cooked the first pancakes. Because I made big pancakes, I only cooked one at a time.
