how to make Chocolate Pancakes

Ingredients :

• 1 large egg
• 1 cup of milk (whole, 1%, 2%, skim, Almond, etc. can use 1 or 2 Tbsp. more for thinner batter)
• 2 Tbsp of unsalted butter (melted, oil can be used as well)
• 1 cup of all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup of white granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt (if using salted butter reduce to 1/4 tsp.)
• Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries, Powdered sugar for serving

Directions :

1. In a large bowl, mix together the egg, milk, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Use a whisk or mixer for best results.
2. Using a sieve or sifter, sift the flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder into the bowl with the mixture. Combine gently with a spatula or mixer. Be careful not to overmix; doing so may make the pancakes less fluffy.
3. Preheat a skillet or griddle to 350°F (176°C). Medium heat on a stovetop usually works well. To test if it’s hot enough, drop a bit of water onto the surface; if it sizzles, you’re ready to cook.
4. Spray the hot pan or griddle with cooking spray. Then, use a measuring cup or ladle to pour out some batter onto the surface. A half-cup measuring cup works well for this.
5. Allow the first side to cook for 2 to 3 minutes. When the edges look dull and tiny bubbles form on top, it’s time to flip.
6. Cook the other side for about 1 to 1.5 minutes more until it’s set and slightly browned.
7. Once your chocolate pancakes are done, serve them with fresh fruit like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Enjoy every bite!
