Making the Perfect Pancake | Cat Hardman

There are probably a million types of pancakes in the world, but one is always a favorite; the chocolate chip pancake. For many years, people have made chocolate chip pancakes, therefore one would think it would be as simple as it sounds. Well, that’s where you are wrong, but that is okay because I am going to teach you how to make perfect chocolate chip pancakes. Enjoy! 

Step 1:
Gather the special ingredients. Please get pancake mix, chocolate chips, you can either use milk or water; but I will be using milk.  After that, you need some butter, peanut butter, a bowl, and a pan. Then last, but not least “Some sugar and spice and everything nice” (The Powerpuff girls 1998). 

Step 2:
Grab the bowl and pour pancake mix into it. Then take your milk and pour some in, you can add a little more milk than you think because the powder will soak up most of the milk. After you add both ingredients to the bowl, start to stir until you get the consistency of yogurt. If you don’t have this consistency, you either added to much milk or not enough, if that is the case you can add more powder or milk. Once you get the consistency of yogurt, pour chocolate chips into the substance. You can add as many as you want, it is all personal preference, but when I cook them, a boatload of chocolate chips is added. Last part of this step is to stir the chocolate chips. 


Step 3:
Now you want to grab a pan and put it on the burner on the stove.  Next, you want to turn on the stove to between level 3 and 6.  Then take some butter and slice of a piece into the pan and let it slide around. Once the butter is melted, it is your time to shine. Take your bowl of pancake mix and pour about a cup and a half to a cup into your pan. After this, get a spatula and wait for about a minute depending on what level the stove is on. Now, you may be asking, how do I know when I should flip the pancake? Well, that’s a great question, so read step 4. 

Step 4:
Now you have put your pancake in the pan and you wondering when it is the right time to flip it. Well, my friends, let me tell you. After it has been about a minute or so, check to see if the sides of the pancake are starting to flare up and look a little more 3-D, that is a perfect time. You want to take your spatula and slowly slide it under the pancake, and then if you can fit your spatula under the pancake, it is good to send on the flip. Note though, if you slide your spatula under the pancake and it's gooey, remove the spatula slowly and wait a little longer. 


Step 5:
Congrats, you are almost done with your perfect pancake. Step 5 is one of the more crucial steps because you have flipped over your pancake and you are waiting for it to cook on the other side. Again, you should wait about a minute or so before checking if it is fully cooked. Once you think it is fully cooked, repeat step 4 by sliding your spatula under the pancake. After you do this, and you know it is fully cooked on both sides, flip it over a couple times to add some color to the front and back.

Step 6:
Now that your pancake is cooked, take it out of the pan and onto a plate. After this, turn off the stove and move the pan to a different burner. Next what you want to grab your jar of peanut butter and smother your pancake in it. Once this is completed, you need to get a knife and fork. Next, move to step 7. 

Step 7:
I will be honest with you, step 7 is the hardest! Though it is simple, all you must do is sit down and enjoy the bomb pancake you just made. Yes, I know, very difficult, but I have faith in you to do it and complete your task of making a bomb chocolate chip pancake. 

Thank you and enjoy,

Cat H.
