Yum! Yum! Yum!

Recently I have tried these Chocolate Pancakes by altering my popular recipe Old Fashionable Pancakes, it was a super hit with my kids. They love these pancakes, I serve these for breakfast on weekends and in lunchbox on weekdays. The recipe is super simple and these pancakes are super addictive. Here is the recipe, Njoy!

Chocolate Pancakes

 Ingredients:
All Purpose Flour- 1 cup
Cocoa Powder (unsweetened) - 1/2 cup
Baking Soda - 1 tsp
Salt - 1/8 tsp
Butter (unsalted) - 3 Tbsp
Brown Sugar - 1/3 cup
Egg - 1
Milk - 1 cup
Vanilla Extract - 1/2 tsp

Method:

1. In a medium bowl, mix all the dry ingredients APF, Cocoa Powder, salt and baking soda; close the lid and set aside.
2. In a large bowl cream the butter, add 1/3 of brown sugar and mix it well. Add 1 Egg and whisk it well until egg combines with sugar mixture. 
3. Add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract to 1 cup milk.  Add Milk to the sugar and egg mixture and mix well until everything is combined.
4. Now add dry flour mix to the wet ingredients and mix it with spoon until smooth batter forms. Leave it aside for 5 min, for everything to settle allowing the batter to slightly ferment.
5. Now heat the skillet at 250 to 300 F temperature. Pour ladleful of batter onto skillet and cook on both sides for 1 to 2 min, until Pancakes are done. Repeat the process until all the batter is done. 

Arrange pancakes in a wide plate, pour some maple syrup all over, dust powdered sugar on top and serve as it is or top with some fruit ( Blueberries or Banana).

Notes:

• If butter is not at room temperature, it won't cream properly, then microwave in glass bowl for 30 sec. 
• If you don't have brown sugar, you can replace with 3 Tbsp of  White Sugar. 
• As butter is already in the batter, you don't need to add any oil while cooking the pancakes.
