Mix the dry ingredients

• Whisk until evenly blended.

Make the batter

• Pour in the milk, egg and melted butter.
• Whisk to a smooth, lump-free batter.
• Fold in the chocolate chips.

Rest the batter

• Let the batter rest so the pancakes turn out fluffy.

Cook the pancakes

• Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium heat.
• Pour a ladle of batter per pancake.
• Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook the other side until golden.

Serve

• Stack the pancakes and serve warm, with extra chocolate if you like.
