I made these pancakes for Joshua's 9th birthday breakfast. I used my smallest cookie scoop (which is very small) to make miniature pancakes. I served Joshua 3 stacks of 3 pancakes each with a birthday candle in each stack. It looked very festive, and he thought it was neat to be able to eat 9 pancakes for breakfast! It was also a good lesson in multiplication: 3 x 3 = 9.
1 ¾ cups (7 ½ ounces) all-purpose flour
1/3 cup (1 ounce) cocoa
¼ cup (1 ¾ ounce) sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup chocolate chips (heaping)
2 eggs
1 cup (8 ounces) buttermilk
½ cup (4 ounces) milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ cup (1 ¾ ounce) vegetable oil
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, salt and chocolate chips. Combine eggs, buttermilk, milk, vanilla, and oil; add to dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Let batter rest 5 to 10 minutes. Pour batter by ¼ cupfuls (or with muffin scoop) onto a lightly buttered hot griddle (about 350°F.). Turn when bubbles form on top; cook until second side is done. Keep warm. Makes 12 pancakes.
To make as a mix, prepare four times the recipe as directed below. Then, measure out 400 gm of mix and place into quart-size freezer bags. When you're ready to make pancakes, combine the wet ingredients as directed above and add to your mix. This also makes a great gift--just include a tag with the mixing directions.
Combine:
29 ¾ ounces all-purpose flour
4 ounces cocoa
7 ounces sugar
8 tablespoons baking powder
4 teaspoons salt
2 cups chocolate chips
We LOVE this recipe (and so do all our neighbors that we shared it with!). We just made these for the 4th of July, and served them with fresh raspberries. One word. . . DELICIOUS!
ReplyDeleteThese pancakes are really fun to make- this is one pancake recipe that I don't mess up on and that I understand completely!
