Chocolate Chip Pancakes.
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk*
1/2 cup chocolate chips**
2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons milk
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
*If you don't have buttermilk, use one cup of regular milk, but add a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.
**If you want to substitute something else (like fresh fruit, etc.) feel free to do so.
Combine the flour, baking soda, sugar, baking powder, chocolate chips, and salt in one bowl. Combine the buttermilk, milk, eggs and melted butter in a separate bowl.
Heat your griddle to medium-high (put a drop of water on it when you think it's ready: if it dances about a bit, it's at the right temperature). Put a small amount of butter on the griddle, to make it harder to burn the pancakes.
Combine the two bowls, stirring together until they're JUST combined. Pour enough to form a pancake of whatever size you want, give it about a minute per side, and you're done!
If this sounds too complicated (...) there's always the old Bacon and Eggs routine. In either case, good luck!
