1tspvanilla extract
2/3cupsemi-sweet chocolate chipsplus additional as needed

Instructions
In a medium bowl use a whisk to sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a separate medium bowl whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs and vanilla.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients stirring just until fully combined. Fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
Butter a 12 inch cast iron skillet or griddle and heat to medium-high. Divide the pancake batter using a 1/4 cup measuring cup.
Cook until golden and the batter begins to bubble on top. This will take around 2 minutes, then flip. (You can sprinkle more chocolate chips onto the batter, if desired) Cook for 1 minute or just until the second side is golden brown.
Cook in batches adding more butter to the pan as needed between each batch. Keep warm on a sheet pan in a 250°F oven until serving.
Serve immediately drizzled with maple syrup or chocolate syrup and pats of butter.
