Pancakes are always the hero at any breakfast or brunch table. Serve these up and you will be everyones hero too. 

 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
 1 tsp kosher salt
 2 1/2 cups buttermilk
 2 large eggs
 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
 2/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
 unsalted butter, vegetable, canola or coconut oil for the pan
 pure maple syrup and butter for serving

1

In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients, excluding chocolate chips.

2

In another bowl whisk together the wet ingredients.

3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour the egg mixture in the mixture. Fold everything together with a spatula, do not over mix. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Melt a pat of butter over in a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add 1/3 cup of the batter. Cook 2-4 minutes until the pancake is bubbling on the top and the edges are golden brown. If you cook two at a time be sure they do not touch. Flip and cook until the other side is lightly browned about a minute. Add butter or oil to the pan as needed to cook the rest of the pancakes. You can keep the cooked pancakes in a warming draw or a 325 degree F oven until ready to serve.
