chocolate chip buttermilk pancakes

Ingredients:

2 eggs

2 cups buttermilk

4 tbsp. butter, melted and cooled

½ tsp. vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tbsp. sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt


½-¾ cup chocolate chips

In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs.  Whisk in the buttermilk, butter and vanilla

 extract and mix until well combined.  Add in the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking

 soda and salt.  Mix just until incorporated.  Add in the chocolate chips and stir just

 until combined.

Preheat the oven to 200° F.  Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat.  Melt a thin

 pat of butter in the pan and spread it around.  Once the bottom of the pan has been 

covered, wipe the butter out gently with a paper towel so that only a very thin film 

remains.  Drop scoops of batter of your desired size (I use 1/3 cup) into the pan.  

Cook the first side until bubbles form on the surface and begin to pop, and the 

bottom is golden brown.  Flip gently with a spatula and cook again until cooked 

through and golden brown on both sides.  Transfer the cooked pancakes to an oven-

safe dish in the warmed oven and repeat the process with the remaining batter.  

Serve immediately.
