Serves: 2
Ingredients:
- Egg
- 1 cup plain flour
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 tbspn sugar
- 2 tbspn butter (melted) or oil
- 3 tbspn baking powder
- ½ tbsp salt
- 1-2 handfuls chocolate chips or chopped chocolate block
- Part of butter for frying
Method:
1. If whipping egg white(s) separately, place them in a separate small bowl. With either an electric hand beater or a whisk, whip until soft peaks form.
2. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and whisk lightly. Make a well in the centre for the wet ingredients.
3. Add the oil or butter and milk to the well in the dry ingredients and whisk together until smooth and few lumps remain.
4. Add the egg white (or whole egg) to the mixture as well as the chocolate and fold in gently, using the whisk to combine until no streaks of white remain and the mixture is light and airy.
5. Heat a pan or griddle over a low-medium heat and melt the pat of butter. When the butter is just starting to bubble, the pan is ready.
6. Spoon around 3-4 tablespoons of batter (or however much you want) into the pan, and smooth out the batter into a circle.
7. Cook the pancakes until puffy and many bubbles have formed on the surface. Then turn and cook the other side until golden brown.
8. Rinse and repeat with the remaining batter and watch them all disappear. Make sure to serve these with a good maple syrup, or lemon juice and a bit of sugar.
