Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, vanilla essence, and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the milk and oil, and give it another quick mix.
Step 2
Sift in 1 cup of all-purpose flour and the baking powder, and gently fold everything together until just combined.
Step 3
If the batter feels too thick, sift in an extra ¼ cup of flour along with a pinch of salt, then mix again. Your pancake batter should be smooth and pourable.
Step 4
Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Spoon some batter onto the pan, sprinkle chocolate chips on top, and cover them with a bit more batter. Cook until the pancakes turn light golden and fluffy.
Step 5
Repeat with the remaining batter. Once cooked, dust the pancakes with powdered sugar and drizzle with chocolate syrup before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use brown sugar instead of powdered sugar?
Yes, but powdered sugar helps achieve a smoother batter and lighter texture. Brown sugar may make it denser.
How do I know when the flapjacks are cooked?
They should be light golden on the outside and fluffy inside. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set before flipping.
Can I substitute milk with a non-dairy alternative?
Yes, almond, soy, or oat milk work well and won't affect the texture much.
What type of oil is best for cooking these?
Use a neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil for cooking to avoid altering the flavor.
How can I make the batter thinner if it’s too thick?
Add a little more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until the batter is smooth and pourable.
Is it necessary to sift the flour?
Sifting helps remove lumps and makes the batter lighter, but it's optional if your flour is fine.
Can I add nuts or other mix-ins besides chocolate chips?
Yes, chopped nuts or dried fruit can be added to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
How should I store leftovers?
Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in a toaster or microwave before serving.
