Thick, fluffy homemade pancakes! Stir in chocolate chips for a delicious treat!

ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
3-4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (opt)

directions

1
Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted & cooled butter, and egg together. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour the buttermilk mixture into the well, and gently whisk together until mixed with a few lumps remaining (Don’t overbeat.)
2
Fold in chocolate chips (opt.) or blueberries and let batter sit while you heat a non-stick griddle or pan over medium heat.
3
Pour ladle full of batter onto the griddle. (use more or less depending on the size pancake you want).
4
Cook on the first side until bubbles form (or gently lift up the pancake to make sure the bottom is not overcooking).
5
Flip the pancake over with a spatula and cook until golden brown. Repeat until all the batter is gone.
6
Let cooked pancakes rest on a heat proof plate in a 200 degree F oven until ready to serve.

notes

Tips: - Cool butter thoroughly - Use only fresh baking soda and powder (check the expiration dates!) - Keep heat to medium or 325 on electric skillet. Too high a heat makes overly browned pancakes uncooked inside
