Death by Chocolate Pancakes _ How to Make Chocolate Pancakes from scratch

Hey , everyone .

It's James from Fun Foods .

And today I'm gonna show you how to make this death by chocolate chocolate pancakes .

So keep watching and I'll show you step by step how to make this .

Now , the first thing we're gonna do is start with our dry ingredients and I have here one cup of flour .

I have a half a cup of cocoa , two teaspoons of baking powder , one teaspoon of baking soda , just a half a teaspoon of salt and three tablespoons of sugar .

You just wanna whisk this up really good .

Get all those ingredients mixed together , just set this aside and we'll work on our wet ingredients .

Now , for our wet ingredients , we're going to start with one cup of milk , two tablespoons of melted butter , one large egg and a teaspoon of vanilla extract and just whisk this up really good .

Get all those ingredients together .

Now that that's whisked up really good .

We're just gonna take our dry ingredients here and we're just going to slowly add this in whisking as we go into our dry ingredients .

So if you find that it's getting a little too thick to mix like this one is , you wanna add a little bit more milk .

So now we're gonna add some chocolate chips to this and I have put about 3/4 of a cup worth of big chocolate chips in here and I'm only gonna put about 1/4 of cup of these are dark mini choc chips and I'm gonna dump those in and this is when you don't want to use your whisk because it'll be really hard to mix these through , just mix them in and that's your pancake batter .

Now , we're just going to turn on our burner and get these things cooked .

OK ?

When your griddle is nice and hot , you want to take some butter just to um kind of butter the surface a bit , stick it on there .

Now you just want to take a good helping of your pancake batter and mack it right in the middle there .

Now that they're starting to bubble over a little bit in the center and the edges are nice and brown .

We're gonna flip these over .

Wow , that wasn't good .

Now , hopefully I can flip this one over better than I did that one .

Be careful people .

Yes .

Success .

So the first side took about three minutes .

We're gonna cook it for another minute on this side and then I'm gonna put them on a plate and I'll show you what to do with the syrup .

So now they're cooked , I'm just gonna take them and put them on a plate here just to double check pretty good .

Just gonna take it , put it on the plate .

I'm even gonna put this on a plate even though I really messed that one up when I spun it and when I flipped it .

Ok , so while your pancakes are cooking , what you wanna do is start on the syrup .

And what I've done is take one cup of heavy cream and I put it in the microwave .

I heat it on high for about 60 seconds .

You want to get it nice and hot .

Now , just add half a cup of dark chocolate chips to it .

So stick them in there , just move it a little bit .

Let them sit for a couple of minutes so that they'll start to melt on their own and then we're gonna stir it up .

Now that you've let that sit for a bit , we're gonna just take a spoon and we're just gonna mix this up and it'll start off slow at first , but just keep mixing and keep mixing and as the chocolate melts , it will look better and better .

So after you mixed it for quite some time , you'll see .

You have this nice perfect chocolate syrup and now we're gonna just Sprinkle it all over our pancakes .

Now we're just gonna take our chocolate syrup that we just made and we're gonna pour it over top of our pancakes .

Mm .

And of course you can always top it with some whipped cream .

So let's cut into these pancakes .

Oh yeah .

Mm Look at the inside of those pancakes .

Take a little bite of this .

Hm .

If you love chocolate , you're gonna love this for breakfast .
