Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup for glazing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's ready for the skillet pancake.
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 cup of milk, 1 egg, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 1/4 cup of chocolate chips, and 1/4 cup of chocolate syrup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk together until the dry ingredients are well blended and there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until fully combined. Make sure the egg is broken and mixed in well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to the skillet to prevent sticking, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the skillet.
- Pour the pancake batter into the heated skillet, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and small bubbles form on the surface.
- Once the edges are set, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the pancake is fully cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pancake cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the top generously for a delicious glaze.
- Slice the skillet pancake into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Chocolate Glazed Skillet Pancake with additional chocolate syrup or toppings of your choice, such as whipped cream or fresh berries.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, measure out your dry ingredients the night before and store them in an airtight container. This way, you can quickly mix everything together when you're ready to cook.
- Use a Cast Iron Skillet: For the best results, use a cast iron skillet. It retains heat well and gives your pancake a beautifully golden crust.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining your wet and dry ingredients, be careful not to overmix the batter. A few lumps are perfectly fine and will result in a fluffier pancake.
- Check for Doneness: To ensure your pancake is fully cooked, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Fresh fruits, whipped cream, or even a sprinkle of nuts can elevate your pancake to the next level.
- Serve Immediately: This pancake is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Slice and serve it right away to savor its fluffy texture and warm chocolatey goodness.
