Delicious Chocolate Pancakes Experience (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
03 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
04 - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 1 cup milk, room temperature
07 - 1 large egg, room temperature
08 - 2 tablespoons oil or melted butter
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Mix-ins

10 - 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

→ Chocolate Ganache

11 - 4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
12 - 1/4 cup heavy cream

# Instructions:

01 - In a bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry mix and stir gently until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips and let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
04 - Microwave chopped chocolate and heavy cream in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth and glossy.
05 - Heat a non-stick griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it and pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
06 - Stack 3-4 pancakes per serving. Drizzle with warm ganache and garnish with fresh berries, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.

# Notes:

01 - The batter should be slightly lumpy to ensure fluffy pancakes.
02 - Bubbles that pop on the pancake surface without filling in indicate it's ready to flip.
03 - For best results, enjoy pancakes freshly cooked, though the batter can be refrigerated overnight with slightly reduced rise.
