- Cuisine: American
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter, cooled slightly
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (or more to taste)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk, or dark)
- Optional: Crushed peppermint candies for topping
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and peppermint extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. If desired, sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top of the batter.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping when bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, chocolate syrup, maple syrup, fresh berries, or crushed peppermint candies.
