Servings: 18 pancakes
Ingredients
- 1-1/4 cups flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 pint strawberries diced small
- 1 cup sour cream
- confectioners sugar for garnish
Instructions
- Dice the strawberries and set them aside.
- Whisk the five dry ingredients - flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix egg, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
- Pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk for 2-3 minutes. minutes.
- Set the mixture aside to rest for 15 minutes.
- Heat a large no-stick skillet on medium-low heat. If needed spray the skillet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the batter into the skillet. I get three pancakes in my skillet.
- Drop several mini chocolate chips on top of each pancake.
- As the pancakes cook, small bubbles will begin to form on top.
- The bubbles will then begin to pop and create small holes. When the bubbles start popping it's time to flip the pancakes.
- Once you flip them, cook for another 2 minutes.
Assembly
- Place the pancakes in two rows on a cookie sheet or cutting board.
- Spread a tablespoon of sour cream on each pancake.
- Place 1-2 tablespoons of the diced strawberries on the top half of the pancake.
- Fold the bottom half of the pancake over the strawberries and press lightly.
- Serve on a large platter with the remaining strawberries.
- Dust with powdered sugar for garnish.
Notes
- The key to making the best pancakes is to let the batter sit so don't miss this important step.
- The trick to flipping any type of pancake is to use your wrist. It takes a little practice but once you get it you'll become a pro.
- I recommend placing the cooked pancakes on a cookie sheet in a 200° oven while you cook the entire batch.
- These pancake tacos are also good with pineapple, cherries, or raspberries. You can also mix it up by substituting Greek yogurt or cream cheese for the sour cream.
