Notes

*This recipe was written using an average of the dip and sweep method for measuring flour and the spoon and level method. If you are using a scale, you will need to add 3/4 oz or 22 g  to the measurement for each cup of flour.
Substitutions:
  • You can use any chocolate chip you like! You can even use a blend of chips, if desired.
  • To make this recipe vegan, use plant based butter, unsweetened plant based milk, your favorite vegan egg substitute, as well as vegan chocolate chips!
  • This recipe can be made gluten free if a measure-for-measure gluten-free flour is used.
Expert Tips:
  • Check the expiration date on your baking powder.
  • Make sure the eggs and milk are room temperature! If they are too cold, they will cause the butter to solidify.
  • When mixing the batter, don’t worry if it’s not completely smooth!
  • Ladle as much or as little as you wish onto your griddle or frying pan. We typically do about ½ cup batter per pancake.
  • The best time to flip the pancake is when it has dried out around the edges, as well as starting to in the middle.
  • Be sure to move your wrist quickly when flipping, as this will result in a cleaner flip!
