Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons Edible glitter (various colors)
- optional Maple syrup (for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips to add bursts of gooey chocolate in every bite.
Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook on the other side for another 1-2 minutes or until cooked through.
Remove the pancakes from the pan and keep them warm by covering them with a clean kitchen towel or placing them in a low oven (200°F/95°C). Continue cooking the remaining batter.
Stack the pancakes on a plate and sprinkle a light dusting of edible glitter over the top for a 'stardust' effect.
Optionally, drizzle warm maple syrup over the pancakes and serve immediately.
