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
