- Swap for gluten free flour and gluten free chocolate chips if you'd like this Chocolate Chip Pancake recipe to be gluten free.
- Make sure your ingredients are up to room temp, this makes for less lumpy batter and easier mixing.
- Don't overmix your batter or you pancakes will come out chewy and tough.
- Use a fine sieve to sift the flour, baking powder, and baking soda, for a smooth batter.
- Don't skip on the lemon juice, it balances out the sweetness nicely. Add a touch more if your pancakes are too sweet.
- For soft and tender pancakes allow your batter to rest for a few minutes.
- A griddle or large skillet is best when making pancakes so you have plenty of room to flip them.
- These chocolate chip pancakes taste best when you serve them with butter, syrup, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar or dollop of whipped cream on top.
