Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Servings: 12 pancakes

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined; a few lumps are fine—do not overmix.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  • Heat a lightly greased griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Spoon or pour about 1/2 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface.
  • Cook the first side for about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip and cook the second side for about 1 1/2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm if desired, then repeat with remaining batter and serve warm.

Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • medium mixing bowl
  • wooden spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • griddle or large skillet
  • ladle or 1/2-cup measuring cup
  • Whisk

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender.
  • Use a 1/2-cup scoop for uniform pancake size.
  • Adjust griddle heat if pancakes brown too quickly.
