Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Mix well.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
8. Serve warm with syrup, whipped cream, or additional chocolate chips as desired.
