Preparation Time

Gather all your ingredients and equipment before you start cooking. This will make the process smoother and prevent any last-minute panics.

Making the Pancake Batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of flour, ¼ cup of cocoa powder, ¼ cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs and add 1 ¼ cups of milk. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and mix it with the wet ingredients. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Fold in a generous handful of chocolate chips for that extra decadence.

Cooking the Pancakes

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to grease it. Pour ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the pan and spread it into a circular shape. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancake and cook for another minute or so until both sides are nicely browned. Repeat this process until all the batter is used, keeping the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven.

Keep building until you have a tall and glorious pancake tower. Top it off with a final drizzle of syrup and a few extra chocolate chips. Now grab a fork and dig in!
