Instructions

Prepare Dry Mixture: In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Mix Wet Ingredients: Whisk together the sugar, milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
Combine Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, leaving some lumps for fluffiness. Fold in the chocolate chip morsels gently.
Heat Skillet: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of oil over medium heat until melted and hot.
Cook Pancakes: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter into the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat: Remove cooked pancakes, wipe the skillet with a paper towel, and repeat with remaining batter.
Serve: Serve warm with toppings of your choice such as syrup, whipped cream, or extra chocolate chips.

Notes

Ensure not to overcrowd the skillet to allow pancakes to cook evenly and flip easily.
You can add berries or nuts for extra flavor and texture.
For a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with buttermilk.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
