Fairytale Triple Chocolate Pancakes

Today I had a hankering for chocolate so I whipped these up for a special morning treat.  They were divine!

Wouldn’t these be cute for valentines day?  I just cut a heart out of paper and laid it on the pancakes and sprinkled the powder sugar on top.  Remove the paper and you have a cute design.  

Are you thinking what I am thinking?  Hello, cricut!  You could make really awesome designs on the cricut and lay that on top. 

Fun!

 

Fairytale Triple Chocolate Pancakes

Ingredients

1 cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup sugar ( I made a double batch and used 1/3 brown and 1/3 white sugar because I ran out)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Chocolate syrup

In a small bowl, combine milk, egg and butter; whisk until blended.  In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda and salt; mix well.

Add milk mixture; whisk just until dry ingredients are moistened.

Batter will be still lumpy… fold in chocolate chips.

For each pancake, pour a 1/4 cup batter onto skillet.  Cook 1-2 minutes or until batter is set around edges.   Carefully turn over pancake; cook 1-2 minutes or until pancakes are cooked through.  Repeat with remaining batter.

Sprinkle pancakes with powdered sugar; serve warm.
