For a simpler version of this kid-pleasing dish you can just add
chocolate chips to your favorite pancake recipe or mix, or you can make them from scratch.

Chocolate Chip Pancakes

2 eggs
3 cups (750 ml) buttermilk*
3 cups (750 ml) all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tsp (5 ml) baking soda
2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder
1 tsp (5 ml) salt
2 Tbs (30 ml) sugar
1/4 cup (60 ml) melted butter
1 oz (28 g) chocolate chips

* If buttermilk is not available in your area, add 1 Tbs (15 ml) lemon
juice to 3 cups (750 ml) milk and let stand at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes

In a large bowl beat the eggs and the buttermilk together. Add the
remaining ingredients except for the chocolate chips and mix well. Drop
batter by spoonfuls onto a hot, well greased skillet or griddle. Drop a
few chocolate chips onto the pancake while the first side is cooking,
before the bubbles form. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, flip,
and cook until the second side is golden brown. Top with your choice of
butter, favorite syrup, chocolate syrup, or whipped cream.
Serves 4 to 6.
