Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of pancake batter immediately after pouring it onto a lightly greased griddle. A moderate pan temperature helps prevent melted chocolate from scorching.
Get chocolate in every bite
- Use small or mini chocolate chips so they distribute evenly.
- Pour batter first, then scatter a few chips onto each still-wet pancake.
- Gently press exposed chips into the batter if needed to reduce direct contact with the hot pan after flipping.
- Flip when the edges are set and the lower side is golden.
- Wipe away chocolate residue between batches if it begins to burn.
One important caution
Very high heat can burn the chips before a thick pancake is cooked in the middle.
FAQ: Should chips be mixed into the bowl instead?
Yes, especially with mini chips, but sprinkling them onto individual pancakes gives more even portions and reduces sinking.
