Pancakes, especially if you're aiming for the typical American breakfast pancakes are somewhat tricky to prepare. 
 
The ingredients required are very basic and every recipe will tell you that it is so simple to make etc. But pancakes have that ‘consistency’ business that proves to be detrimental.
 
To achieve the perfect pancake, constant practice is essential. However if you're fine with less ideal looking but just as great tasting pancake, this should work for you.
 
Although they are usually eaten for breakfast, they can be your perfect midnight snack as well.
 
 

 

 

Ingredients
 
1 cup of Flour
 
1 ¼ cup of Milk
 
1 Egg
 
¼ Cup of chocolate chips
 
1 Tbs of sugar
 
1 Tsp of baking powder
 
Pinch of Salt 
 
Butter 
 
 
 
 
Directions 
 
In a large bowl whisk together all ingredients except the chocolate chips and butter and let the batter rest for about ten minutes.
 
Then add the chocolate chips to the batter, stir it a bit and let it rest for few more minutes. 
 
 
 
 
 
On a medium low flame, heat up a non stick pan and add a little bit of butter to it. 
 
Once the butter has melted, scoop some batter, pour it on to the hot skillet and cook.
 
 
 
 
Cook until both sides are brown.
 
 
 
 
 
Disasters, Warnings and Tips
 
 
Bash a few pieces of cooking chocolate with rolling pin and you get chocolate chips and some therapy.
 
Use a whisk to whisk the batter. 
 
This recipe is the result of referring many pancake recipes including Laura Vitales.
 
Laura Vitale says if you want more Pancakes, to double all the ingredients. 
 
Go with your instinct and decrease or increase ingredients. The temperature and how long you let the batter rest plays a big role in consistency.
 
I’ve had way too many pancake disasters.
 
My sister Fari gave me a packet of Hersheys Chocolate chips which I used for this. 
 
This is my midnight snack. I go to bed with a smile.
 
Consistency is everything, if the batter is watery you’ll get crepe like pancakes, if it’s too thick you feel like you can use it as a mini table mat.
 
If it’s too thick you can add a little bit more milk, but add by the table spoon.
 
 I’ve also received a dinky camera from my sister, I really know now that my photography is improving.

    Could I put melted butter into the mixture and use dried fruits as a substitute for chocolate chips?
