How to Make Easy Chocolate Pancakes

In a large bowl, sift 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour. Add ¼ cup granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon salt. Create a well in the center.
Crack in 1 large egg and 1 egg yolk. Whisk until just combined. Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk until smooth.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and stir it into the batter.
Stir in 1 tablespoon orange liqueur or rum (optional). Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes (standing time reduced for convenience).
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a lightly oiled non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Sprinkle ½ cup chocolate chips evenly over each pancake while cooking.
Once the chocolate chips start to melt, gently fold the pancake in quarters.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as whipped cream, yogurt, ice cream, and fresh berries.
