Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter , more for the griddle
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs , whisked

- ½ - 1 cup chocolate chips , mix in more if desired

Instructions
- Preheat a griddle to 325°F, or a skillet over medium-high heat. Melt 1/4 cup butter in the microwave and set aside to cool for 3 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir in 2 cups buttermilk and the melted butter just until combined. Mix in 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla just until most the lumps are gone and the batter is smooth. Fold in up to 1 cup chocolate chips.
- Coat the griddle (or skillet) with butter and then pour 1/4 cup batter onto the heated griddle. Cook the pancakes until bubbles appear, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook 1 minute, or just until lightly browned.
- Serve immediately with desired toppings or place pancakes on a baking sheet in the oven at 175°F to keep warm.
