• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 medium egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil ((28g))
• 1/2 cup water or milk ((118ml))
• 1 1/4 cup flour ((160g))
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder ((30g))
• 4 tablespoons sugar ((50g))
• 2 teaspoons baking powder ((10g))

Preparación

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter or oil, water or milk, and vanilla extract until combined.

2. 2

   In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. 3

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

4. 4

   If using, fold in the chocolate chips for extra chocolaty goodness.

5. 5

   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

   Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.

7. 7

   Flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1–2 minutes.

8. 8

   Serve warm with your favorite toppings, syrup, whipped cream, berries, or extra chocolate chips!
