Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Then, slowly whisk in the melted butter and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter. For best results, toss the chips in 1 tbsp of the dry flour mixture before adding to prevent them from sinking.
  5. Heat a lightly buttered griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, butter, or whipped cream.

Notes

Don't Overmix: Mix the batter only until the flour is just moistened. Lumps are perfectly fine and lead to a more tender pancake.
Rest the Batter: Allowing the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes gives the baking powder time to activate, creating maximum fluffiness.
Medium Heat is Key: Cooking on medium heat ensures the pancakes cook through without the outsides burning.
