Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1 cup milk (whole or buttermilk for extra fluffiness)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Optional toppings: maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh berries

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

    Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula until just combined; it's fine if there are a few lumps. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense pancakes.

        Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

          Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little butter to coat the surface.

            Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.

              Serve: Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter. Serve stacked with warm maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries, and a sprinkle of extra chocolate chips if desired!
