Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (375 ml) self-raising flour
- 1 ¼ cups (310 ml) milk
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup (125 g) chocolate chips or buttons
- ¼ cup (60 g) butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 2 tbsps (30 g) sugar
- 2 tsps pure vanilla extract
- 1 heaped tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅓ tsp salt
- 4 tbsps (60 g) sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preparation: Combine dry ingredients (self-raising flour, baking powder, sugar, ground cinnamon, salt) in a large mixing bowl, forming a well in the center for wet ingredients.
- Batter Creation: Pour melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and milk into the flour mixture, whisking gently until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
- Cooking Process: Heat a nonstick skillet over low-medium heat, lightly coating with butter. Pour a measured amount of batter, spreading evenly across the surface.
- Chocolate Infusion: Sprinkle chocolate chips across the pancake’s surface, gently covering with a thin layer of batter to create a hidden chocolate center.
- Browning Technique: Cook until golden-brown bubbles appear on the surface, then flip carefully. Continue cooking until both sides achieve a rich, caramelized color.
- Cinnamon Sugar Coating: Prepare a shallow dish with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Immediately transfer hot pancakes, thoroughly coating both sides for a sweet, aromatic finish.
- Serving Suggestion: Plate the cinnamon-sugar coated pancakes, garnishing with optional accompaniments like fresh berries, vanilla ice cream, or Greek yogurt for an elevated breakfast experience.
Notes
- Prep Surface Wisely: Use a nonstick skillet with minimal butter to prevent sticking and ensure even golden-brown pancakes.
- Control Batter Consistency: Pour small, uniform amounts of batter to create perfectly sized, evenly cooked pancakes with smooth edges.
- Hide Chocolate Strategically: Cover chocolate chips with a thin batter layer to create a surprising, melty center without burning or overcrowding.
- Coat Pancakes Immediately: Transfer hot pancakes directly into cinnamon-sugar mixture while warm to achieve maximum flavor absorption and crispy, sweet coating.
