Ingredients:

For the Pancake Batter:

• 200g all-purpose flour

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 tablespoon sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 2 large eggs

• 300g milk (can use dairy or plant-based milk)

• 50g melted butter (or vegetable oil)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 100g chocolate chips (or more, depending on preference)

Optional Toppings:

• Maple syrup

• Fresh berries

• Whipped cream

Method:

Step 1: Prepare the Pancake Batter

1. Mix Dry Ingredients
   In your Thermomix bowl, add flour (200g), baking powder (2 tsp), sugar (1 tbsp), and salt (1/4 tsp). Mix for 5 seconds on speed 4 to combine.

2. Add Wet Ingredients
   Add the eggs (2 large), milk (300g), melted butter (50g), and vanilla extract (1 tsp) to the bowl. Mix for 10 seconds on speed 4 until the batter is smooth. Scrape down the sides and mix again for 5-10 seconds if necessary.

3. Add Chocolate Chips
   Add the chocolate chips (100g) into the bowl and mix for 5 seconds on speed 2 to distribute them evenly through the batter. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes

4. Heat the Pan
   Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with a bit of butter or oil.

5. Cook the Pancakes
   Pour a small amount of pancake batter onto the pan (about 1/4 cup per pancake). Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until small bubbles form on the surface of the pancake. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

6. Repeat
   Continue to cook the remaining pancakes, greasing the pan as needed.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

7. Serve the Pancakes
   Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve them with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Tips for Perfect Pancakes:

• Consistency of Batter: If the batter feels too thick, add a little more milk (1-2 tablespoons) to loosen it up. If it’s too runny, add a bit more flour.

• Even Cooking: Make sure to cook pancakes on medium heat so they cook through without burning. Adjust the heat as necessary.

• Chocolate Chip Variations: Feel free to use dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or even chopped chocolate bars for a different twist.
