Indulge in these fluffy chocolate chip pancakes, perfect for a delightful breakfast or brunch.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is evenly heated to prevent uneven cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Sift the dry ingredients for a smoother batter.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Make sure the butter is slightly cooled to avoid cooking the eggs.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Coat the chocolate chips in a little flour to prevent them from sinking.
Pour a portion of the batter onto the skillet, forming a pancake of your desired size.
Use a ladle for consistent pancake sizes.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Flip the pancake gently to maintain its shape.
Repeat with the remaining batter, serving the pancakes warm.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
