Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (375 milliliters) self-raising flour
- 1 ¼ cups (310 milliliters) milk
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup (125 grams) chocolate chips or buttons
Dairy and Binding Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 grams) butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅓ teaspoon salt
Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- 4 tablespoons (60 grams) sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Whisk together self-raising flour, baking powder, sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt in a spacious mixing bowl, creating a central cavity for incorporating liquid ingredients.
- Stream melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and milk into the flour mixture’s core, gently blending until achieving a silky, homogeneous consistency.
- Warm a nonstick skillet over low-medium temperature, lightly greasing the surface with butter.
- Carefully ladle a small portion of batter onto the skillet, ensuring a gentle spread across the surface.
- Strategically place chocolate chips directly in the pancake’s center, delicately covering them with an additional thin layer of batter to create a hidden molten core.
- Monitor the pancake’s underside, watching for a golden-brown transformation, then cautiously flip to cook the opposite side until achieving an equivalent rich, caramelized hue.
- Craft a separate shallow container filled with a harmonious blend of cinnamon and sugar.
- Transfer each freshly cooked pancake immediately into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring comprehensive and even coating on both surfaces.
- Arrange the cinnamon-sugar encrusted pancakes on a serving platter, presenting them alongside optional accompaniments like fresh berries, creamy ice cream, or chilled yogurt for an indulgent breakfast experience.
