Ingredients

Pancakes:

  • 1 1/2 cups self raising flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder heaped
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or buttons

Cinnamon Sugar:

  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Combine together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a large-sized bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the melted butter, egg, vanilla and milk. Slowly whisk well until smooth. Set aside.
  • Melt a small amount of butter in a nonstick pan over low-medium heat. Pour less than 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently with the back of your ladle. Drop chocolate chips/buttons onto the centre of the batter, and then gently pour a little pancake batter evenly over the top to cover completely.
  • When the underside is golden, gently flip and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter and chocolate chips. (Please note: no bubbles will form on top like normal pancakes, so check the corners before flipping).
  • Prepare a wide shallow dish with the cinnamon and sugar. Immediately place each pancake onto the cinnamon sugar while they're still warm. Evenly coat both sides and place onto a serving dish.
  • Serve with fruit, ice cream or frozen yoghurt, or enjoy as they are.

Notes

Tip: Serve with whipped cream and a side of strawberries for an extra decadent brunch dish.
