Ingredients
Dry Pancake Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Wet Pancakes Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
- 2 Tablespoons melted butter (cooled)
Toppings For Chocolate Pancakes
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat griddle or skillet to medium heat.
- In a large bowl, stir together the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.)
- In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients (milk, egg, vanilla, and cooled melted butter.)
- Add the wet ingredients (milk, egg, vanilla, and cooled melted butter) to the dry ingredients (flour mixture), and stir until it is combined and the large lumps are gone.
- When the skillet is hot, either rub the griddle or skillet with butter, or add oil or spray with cooking spray.
- Ladle about 1/4 - 1/3 cup of chocolate pancake batter onto the hot griddle or skillet. Let it cook for a couple of minutes until you see bubbles and the bubbles in the middle start to pop.
- When the bubbles start to pop, use a spatula to carefully turn the pancake. Cook the pancake on the other side for about 1 - 2 more minutes.
- Use a spatula to remove the pancake and place on a plate or serving dish.
- Repeat steps 5 - 8 with the rest of the pancake batter.
- Top with powdered sugar, sliced strawberries, chocolate chips, or marshmallows.
Notes
- See the body of the blog post for more details regarding each of these tips.
- Use a good quality griddle or skillet.
- Make sure the griddle or skillet is hot, but not too hot. I use medium heat to cook the pancakes. Preheat the griddle before cooking the pancakes.
- Grease the griddle or skillet. Rub butter or oil on the griddle or skillet before cooking the pancakes.
- Use fresh baking powder and baking soda. Check the expiration dates on each to ensure they have not expired.
- Let the melted butter cool before adding to the batter. Don't add hot butter into a bowl that has a raw egg. Let the butter cool a few minutes before adding it in.
- Don't Over mix the batter. Stir the batter just enough to mix evenly. If you have small lumps it is ok.
- Timing The Turn. Turn after you see bubbles form and start to pop.
