Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 250 grams all-purpose flour
  • 63 grams cornstarch
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 57 grams butter, melted
  • 1 whole egg, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons granular sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 512 milliliters buttermilk
  • 100 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • butter and maple syrup, for serving

Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 microwave-safe bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 digital scale
  • 1 griddle or nonstick frying pan

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center and set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, then add the egg, vanilla extract, and buttermilk and whisk to combine. Pour the wet ingredients into the well in the switch to a rubber spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until no flour remains visible. Do NOT overmix! The batter will be lumpy, but this is okay.
  3. Heat the griddle or nonstick pan to medium-low heat and allow it to get all the way hot. Do not grease the pan. Ladle ¼-cup of batter in the center of the pan and allow for it to sit undisturbed until the edges firm up and small bubbles appear on the surface. Add 5-6 more chocolate chips, if desired.
  4. Flip the pancakes and continue cooking until golden brown, 1-2 minutes more. Remove from heat and serve immediately with a drizzle of maple syrup and pat of butter.
