ULTIMATE FLUFFY CHOCOLATE PANCAKES


Saturdays or rather lazy Saturdays were made for pancakes, chocolate pancakes! I love fluffy pancakes that literally melt in your mouth and these do exactly that.
 INGREDIENTS


1 1/3 Cup All Purpose Flour
3/4 Cup Milk
1/3 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
3 Tablespoons Butter Melted
6 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Large Eggs
1 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
Pinch Salt
3/4 Cup Milk

METHOD


Melt the butter


Add flour to sieve over bowl, add baking powder


Add baking soda


Add unsweetened cocoa powder


Add sugar


Add pinch of salt


Sieve the dry ingredients


Sieving the dry ingredients airetes the batter so that you get a light and fluffy consistency


Add milk to melted butter


Add in the beaten eggs


Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients


Start mixing the batter with spatula


Be careful not to overbeat the chocolate batter


You will end up with a smooth thick batter, do not worry about any lumps


This is the consistency you want from the chocolate batter mixture


Brush non stick pan with olive oil or butter


Pour 1/4 cup batter on the pan once it is hot


Cook the batter for a few minutes until the top of the batter is spread with bubbles


Use spatula to carefully flip the pancake


Cook the second side until lightly browned


How fluffy are these chocolate pancakes though...


The first side all browned and crisp


Place cooked pancakes on kitchen paper towel lined plate, cover to keep warm as you finish the rest


Serve topped with fresh grapes


The perfect fluffy chocolate pancakes


Soft and oh so chocolaty


The bottom crisp and delicious


Perfect for breakfast or snack for the kids or for you at the office
