CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat fry pan (griddle or skillet for Americans).
• Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.

• Fold in chocolate chips.
• Pour or spoon batter into fry pan in desired quantity.
• Flip when top begins to bubble, then cook a minute more.

CHOCOLATE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Tip the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and sugar into a large bowl with a small pinch of salt. Add the eggs and whisk until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk until you have a smooth batter, then mix in the chocolate chips.
• Heat a splash of the oil and a little of the butter in a non-stick frying pan until sizzling. Cook the pancakes, using 2 tbsp batter for each, for 2 mins until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip and cook for 2 mins more (you'll need to do this in batches). Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven while you cook.
• To serve, whip the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla until thick. Top the pancakes with the whipped cream, berries and maple syrup, if using.

HOT CHOCOLATE PANCAKES

Steps:

• For the hot chocolate syrup: Bring the maple syrup and hot chocolate mix to a simmer, whisking constantly, in a small saucepan over medium heat. Continue to simmer until the syrup is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Keep warm.
• For the pancakes: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Whisk together the flour, hot chocolate mix, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, butter, eggs and vanilla in a medium bowl. Pour the milk-egg mixture into the flour mixture, and gently fold just to combine (it's OK if there are some lumps).
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter; when it melts and the foam subsides, pour 1/4-cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, evenly spaced. Cook until the surface of the pancakes begins to bubble and the bottoms have darkened by a few shades, about 4 minutes. Flip the pancakes, and continue to cook until the bottoms have darkened by a few shades and the pancakes are springy when touched in the center, about 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter. (Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven.) Serve with the hot chocolate syrup and whipped cream.

HOT COCOA PANCAKES

Steps:

• For the chocolate sauce: Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepot over medium-low heat until simmering, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chocolate chips to a heatproof mixing bowl and pour the hot cream over them, using a whisk to mix and melt the chocolate chips. Once the sauce has come together, set to the side until ready to plate the pancakes.
• For the hot cocoa pancakes: Place a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat to get hot.
• Next, make the pancake batter. In a mixing bowl, add the self-rising and all-purpose flours, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt and mix thoroughly. In a separate bowl, add the milk, crème fraiche, heavy cream, vanilla and eggs, then whisk together until mixed thoroughly. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. It's ok if there are some small clumps.
• Melt a little butter to season the griddle. Scoop out the batter onto the griddle with a 1/2-cup scoop, using the scoop to flatten the mixture to a pancake shape; repeat to make additional pancakes. Sprinkle some chocolate chips onto the pancakes. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes and the bottoms are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and continue cooking on the other side until the pancakes are cooked all the way through, 1 to 2 more minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter and chocolate chips.
• To finish, stack 3 hot cocoa pancakes onto a plate, drizzle the chocolate sauce over them, add a large spoonful of marshmallow cream and top with either chocolate curls or more chocolate chips. Enjoy!

PEPPERMINT HOT CHOCOLATE PANCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the milk, egg, canola oil, and peppermint extract (if using). Mix well.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. The mixture will be lumpy.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 teaspoon of the butter and let melt, coating the pan. Add about 1/4 cup of batter to form a pancake. Repeat 1 to 3 more times, depending on the size of the skillet, and space the pancakes evenly apart without touching.
• Let cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the edges are setting up and bubbles have formed on the top of the pancake and are beginning to pop.
• Flip and cook another 1 to 2 minutes, or until cooked through. Keep pancakes warm under a kitchen towel or in a low heat oven.
• Add another teaspoon of butter and repeat until all of the batter is cooked.
• To serve, top each pile of warm pancakes with chocolate sauce, chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and peppermint candy.
