Recipe for Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Start preparing the chocolate chip pancakes by measuring into a bowl the 00 flour, the sugar and the baking powder.
Stir with a spoon to combine the dry ingredients.
Continue by adding the wet ingredients to the dry mixture: the egg, the milk and the warm melted butter.
Mix the batter with a whisk: you should get a homogeneous batter, fairly thick and without lumps.
Finish the preparation by adding the chocolate chips and mixing one last time to distribute them evenly throughout the pancake batter.
Let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Heat a nonstick griddle: I didn’t add any fat but you can spread a thin layer of butter if you like.
Take the batter out of the fridge and place two tablespoons of batter on the griddle for each pancake.
Cook the chocolate chip pancakes 2 minutes per side, then bring them to the table and serve with maple syrup, honey or jams.

Can I prepare the batter in advance?
The batter can be prepared and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Remember to stir it lightly before cooking.
How can I reheat pancakes without drying them out?
Heat the pancakes in the oven at 302°F for a few minutes or in a covered nonstick pan so they retain softness and flavor.
Do the chocolate chips sink in the batter?
With the consistency of this batter they shouldn’t sink, but if you want to be sure they won’t, you can lightly flour them before adding them to the mixture. This will keep them evenly distributed during cooking.
