HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE PANCAKES, STEP BY STEP:
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg with the milk. Add in the melted butter and whisk until it is well combined.
- Add in the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is completely mixed and there are no large clumps of flour or cocoa powder. Be careful to not overmix.
- Place a non-stick skillet on the stove over medium heat, using a ¼ cup measuring cup, measure the batter and pour over the hot skillet. (You can test the skillet by dropping a few drops of water)
- Cook until the small bubbles appear on the pancake, then flip to cook on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Remove from the pan and serve with powdered sugar and chocolate syrup if desired.
CAN I USE AN ELECTRIC SKILLET?
Yes! We have made these on the stove and in an electric skillet, if you are looking to make more than one at a time an electric skillet is the way to go.
You will want to preheat your skillet to 375 degrees F and add your batter and cook from there.
