Description
Swiss chocolate pancakes offer a delightful breakfast experience with rich cocoa flavors. Silky chocolate batter creates fluffy pancakes perfect for morning indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (30 grams) cocoa powder
- ¼ cup (45 grams) chocolate chips
- 2 tbsps granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (180 ml) milk
- 2 tbsps melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Sift cocoa powder, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl, ensuring uniform blending of dry ingredients.
- Wet Components: Whisk egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth and fully integrated.
- Batter Creation: Gently fold liquid mixture into dry ingredients, stirring minimally to prevent tough texture. Fold in chocolate chips if desired, maintaining a light touch to preserve batter’s delicate structure.
- Cooking Surface: Heat griddle or non-stick skillet over medium temperature, lightly greasing with butter or oil. Pour batter to form circular pancakes, allowing natural spreading.
- Pancake Transformation: Cook until surface bubbles emerge and edges appear set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully to reveal golden-brown surface, cooking additional 1-2 minutes until fully developed.
- Serving Presentation: Plate pancakes in an elegant stack, garnishing with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, fresh berries, or powdered sugar. Drizzle warm maple syrup and sprinkle extra chocolate chips for decadent finishing touch.
Notes
Prevent Lumpy Batter: Whisk dry and wet ingredients separately before combining to ensure smooth, lump-free chocolate pancake batter without overmixing.
Temperature Control: Use medium-low heat to achieve evenly cooked pancakes with golden-brown exteriors and soft, fluffy interiors without burning.
Chocolate Chip Distribution: Fold chocolate chips gently into batter or sprinkle on top of pancakes while cooking for even chocolate flavor and texture.
Dietary Adaptations: Substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free blend, use plant-based milk and egg alternatives, and replace butter with coconut oil for vegan or gluten-sensitive versions.
