Fast forward to 2010. As a mother I made a vow to have breakfast with my children atleast twice a week - usually on weekends. (A teacher's schedule doesn't always allow us to sit around our table on a regular school day. I know - excuses, excuses!) Bacon, eggs, fried rice - you name it - my children usually love it. But what they truly look forward to are chocolate chip pancakes. Not just ANY kind of chocolate chip pancakes - but pancakes oozing with style and faboosh!
Making these pancakes are so simple and my kids take turns helping me prepare them. Bisquick has this great melts-in-your mouth recipe, but the lemon juice that's called for makes the end results terrible! So the following recipe is hugely adapted from Bisquick. The ingredients are:
2 cups Bisquick pancake mix
1 1/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1 capfull of pure vanilla (usually it's 1/2 tablespoon)
1 tsp baking powder
2 tablespoons of sugar
Lots and lots of semi-sweet chocolate chip morsels
Powdered sugar
Nonstick spray for pan
Ice cream scoop (for uniformity duh!)
Teflon pan (just makes life easier)
Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
The batter is thinner than most because we prefer thin pancakes (they're almost like a sweet crepe). I use a scooper just so that each pancake is the same size. (YES - I am OCD and what of it?!?)
On special occasions, we put a huge scoop of vanilla or rocky road ice cream on top of the pancakes. Absolutely sinful!
These pancakes are fluffy, sweet, and fabulously delicious! Try this recipe and have dessert for breakfast with your family today!
