Pancakes with chocolate chips

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 250 g flour
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 250 ml milk
• 2 large eggs, separated
• 45 g butter, melted
• 100 g dark chocolate
• Butter, for frying

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Chop the chocolate into small pieces and set aside. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a second bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the melted butter. Then add the milk and stir until well blended. Now add the flour mixture and mix everything together. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold in with a wooden spoon. It doesn’t have to be completely mixed; you should still be able to see some of the beaten egg whites. Finally, fold in the chocolate pieces. Melt a little butter in a hot pan and use a small ladle (about 50-75 ml per pancake) to add the batter to the pan. It’s best to cook two pancakes at a time for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until small bubbles form on the top. The pancake is then ready to flip and will finish cooking on that side. Continue in this way, repeatedly buttering the pan until all the batter is used up. Depending on the size, this makes 8-10 pancakes, which are best served while still very hot. Tip: This pancake goes very well with cinnamon cream, made from 200g heavy cream, 50g sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. You can also use maple syrup or something else you like.
