- Cooking Method: Skillet
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional but highly recommended!)
Cooking Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure everything gets acquainted.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Tender, loving care is the secret ingredient here!
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Lumps are cool – embrace them.
- If you’re going for that extra chocolatey hit, fold in chocolate chips.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray. Shine like a star!
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. No acrobatics needed.
- Repeat the process until the batter is gone. Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven, if desired.
Suggestions
Mix things up! Swap the buttermilk with almond milk or regular milk with a dash of lemon juice. Instead of chocolate chips, sprinkle in some berries, nuts, or even a dash of cinnamon for a twist. For garnish, think whipped cream, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of melted chocolate. Here’s a wild idea: a scoop of ice cream could turn breakfast into dessert heaven. Don’t forget to clean the skillet between batches if it gets too chocolaty – all good things in moderation, right? Happy flipping!
