Chocolate Chips Pancakes

Woke up early this morning, and was thinking of whipping up a quick breakfast for the lil kiddo. Oh, I haven't been making pancakes for a long time now. So again, I searched BBC Good Food for a yummy, quick and easy recipe. Hmm.. American Blueberry Pancakes with a 5-star from 149 ratings sounds good. Dang. I didn't stock up on blueberries. O'well, I'll just replace them with Chocolate chips then.

The pancakes turned out to be so fluffy and yummy, that the lil kiddo had 3 at one go!

Chocolate Chips Pancakes
Ingredients

200g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
300ml milk
knob butter
100g chocolate chips
sunflower oil or a little butter for cooking
golden or maple syrup

Method

1.Mix together the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Beat the egg with the milk, make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and whisk in the milk to make a thick smooth batter. Beat in the melted butter, and gently stir in the chocolate chips.

2.Heat a teaspoon of oil or small knob of butter in a large non-stick frying pan. Drop a large tablespoonful of the batter per pancake into the pan to make pancakes about 7.5cm across. Make three or four pancakes at a time. Cook for about 3 minutes over a medium heat until small bubbles appear on the surface of each pancake, then turn and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden. Cover with kitchen paper to keep warm while you use up the rest of the batter. Serve with golden syrup.

Butternut Squash Pancake


I had my first attempt in making pancake for lil K on the day off of Awal Muharam. Found this Applesauce Pancake recipe but decided to swap the applesauce to butternut squash puree as I still have some butternut squash in the fridge.

Applesauce Pancake Recipe
What You'll Need:
1 cup flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon melted butter
½ cup milk
1 beaten egg
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 ¼ cups applesauce (I swapped them with butternut squash puree)

Method:
  1. Sift flour, salt and baking powder into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Combine milk, egg and butter.
  3. Stir into dry ingredients.
  4. Add vanilla and applesauce; beat well – do not overbeat to achieve light & fluffy texture.
  5. Spoon batter into a hot, well-greased griddle, enough batter to make applesauce pancakes about 4” in diameter.
This pancake freezes well too!

And the final product of my first attempt in making butternut squash pancakes!
