Chocolate Chip Pancakes

1 . Stage

Combine milk and vinegar in a bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to "sour" the milk. You are essentially making your own buttermilk with this step.

2 . Stage

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

3 . Stage

Whisk egg, butter, and vanilla extract into "soured" milk until well combined. Pour flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Batter will be thick. Allow batter to rest for 5 minutes.

4 . Stage

Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat, and coat with cooking spray.

5 . Stage

Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip pancake with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately.
