🛒 Ingredients & Material

• Buttermilk pancake mix (e.g., Meijer)

• Ghirardelli chocolate chips

• Non-stick cooking spray

• Small pancake pans

📋 Steps

Buttermilk Pancakes

1. Prepare: Spray non-stick cooking spray onto the pancake pan, covering the base and sides.

2. Heat: Set induction hob to 7 (out of 10).

3. Cook Batter: Fill a ¼ cup measuring cup with pancake batter, pour in the center of the pan, and let it spread evenly.

4. Poke: After 1.5–2 minutes, use a spatula to check the bottom—if the pancake slides, it's ready to flip.

5. Flip: Turn the pancake and cook the second side for 60 seconds (it cooks faster than the first).

6. Serve: Remove pancake using a spatula and plate.

Chocolate Chip Pancakes

2. Heat: Set induction hob to 6 (out of 10).

3. Cook Batter: Fill a ¼ cup measuring cup with pancake batter, pour in the center of the pan, ensuring even chocolate chip distribution.

4. Poke: After 2.5–3 minutes, use a spatula to check the bottom—if the pancake slides, it's ready to flip.

5. Flip: Turn the pancake and cook for 60–90 seconds on the second side.

6. Serve: Remove pancake using a spatula and plate.

🍽️ Serving Recommendations

• For savory: Pair buttermilk pancakes with butter, bacon, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

• For sweet: Top chocolate chip pancakes with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or fruit.

• Customize: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter for extra depth.

📝 Notes for Next Time

• Want crispier edges? Use a light butter coating instead of spray.

• Prefer extra fluffiness? Let batter sit for 5 minutes before cooking.

• Alternative toppings: Try peanut butter, caramel drizzle, or yogurt.
