Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently until just combined; a few small lumps are fine. Fold in chocolate chips and let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly butter the pan.
Scoop about 0.25 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Sprinkle a few extra chips on top if desired. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Flip and cook until golden and cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Adjust heat as needed to prevent over-browning.
Serve warm with butter and maple syrup.
Notes
For fluffier pancakes, use buttermilk and reduce baking soda to 0.25 teaspoon. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven on a wire rack set over a sheet pan. Swap mini chips for regular chips if preferred.
