Week 40 - Chocolate Chip Pancakes

This week I was in the mood for a more traditional pancake.  I used to love chocolate chip pancakes as a kid and it was always a special treat when I ate them.  So I decided to relive those days and make my own chocolate chip pancakes.  The best part?  I gave one to my daughter and she devoured it!  The chocolate smudges on her face was priceless! 
Jó étvágyat!

Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Ingredients

• 2 eggs, separated
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 cups "Simply Perfect" Pancake Mix (See week 5)
• 1/4-1/2 cup chocolate chips  
• butter, for greasing the pan

Directions

1. Heat an electric griddle or frying pan to 350 degrees F.

2. Whisk the egg whites until white and frothy.  
3. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks, buttermilk, melted butter, and pancake mix together.  
4. Add in the egg white and then fold in chocolate chips
5. Lightly butter the griddle.
6. Gently ladle the pancake batter onto the griddle.  When bubbles begin to set around the edges of the pancake and the griddle-side of the cake is golden, gently flip the pancakes. Continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the pancake is set.

7. Serve warm with syrup.
