Chocolate chip pancakes


"Feast of Saint Valentine"


The only thing better than fluffy thick and light pancakes are fluffy chocolate chip thick and light pancakes. I took my classic pancake recipe and brought it to new heights buy adding one simple ingredient; chocolate!
I am always amazed at how folding stiff egg whites into a batter can change the game. It makes the pancakes so incredibly thick and fluffy. An in addition to this wonderful texture there are pockets of melted milk chocolate chips throughout every bite. There is really no difference with this pancake than my original fluffy pancake recipe other than the addition of chocolate chips. If you are a true pancake connoisseur and you love my original recipe, I’m sure you have been adding blueberries and chocolate chips to the batter long before I have.

For those of you who are new to the game, know this; pancakes are always best made from scratch with real ingredients. It yields a much richer flavor, where the texture and fluffiness are unparalleled.  Experiment with your chocolate chips, I used milk chocolate, you could use mint chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate, even caramel pieces would also work well in the batter. Your only limit is your imagination
