- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest
- 1 rounded cup semisweet mini chocolate chips
- Accompaniment: 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, mixed with 3 tablespoons orange marmalade
- Whisk together all ingredients except chips until just combined.
- Heat a griddle over medium heat until hot and lightly brush with additional oil. Working in batches, pour a scant 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto griddle and sprinkle each pancake with about 1 1/2 teaspoons chips. Cook until bubbles appear on surface and undersides are golden-brown, about 1 minute. Flip with a spatula and cook other side, about 1 minute more. (Lightly oil griddle between batches.)
