Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
- Whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together the dry ingredients until well blended.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the large egg and then add the milk. Whisk the wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula. Mix until just combined - be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the heated surface. For Grumpy Cat design, pour batter to create a larger circular base and smaller ears on top.
- Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look dry, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate. Use whipped cream to create Grumpy Cat's distinctive frowning face design on top.
- Serve immediately while warm, with additional whipped cream or maple syrup if desired.
Tips
- Perfecting the Batter: Be cautious not to overmix your batter. Mixing until just combined will yield fluffy pancakes, while overmixing can lead to a dense texture.
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your griddle or skillet is at the right temperature before pouring the batter. A medium heat is ideal; too hot and the pancakes may burn before they cook through.
- Creating the Grumpy Cat Design: Pour a larger circle for the head and smaller shapes for the ears when you pour the batter. A squeeze bottle can help you achieve more precise shapes for the ears and facial features.
- Whipped Cream Fun: Use a piping bag to create the frowning face of Grumpy Cat with whipped cream. This adds an extra touch of fun and makes your pancakes even more Instagram-worthy!
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your Grumpy Cat Pancakes warm with a side of maple syrup or additional whipped cream for a delightful breakfast experience that everyone will love.
