"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
