Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• Whipped cream, for serving
• Chocolate syrup, for drizzling
• Fresh strawberries, for garnish

Directions

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. Combine the Wet Ingredients:
   • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the milk, add the egg, and the melted butter. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
3. Add the Chocolate Chips:
   • Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
4. Heat the Griddle:
   • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. You can test if the griddle is hot enough by sprinkling a few drops of water on it; if the water sizzles, it’s ready.
5. Cook the Pancakes:
   • Pour or scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
   • Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
   • Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the pancakes hot, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and fresh strawberries.
