   Melt the butter ahead of time in the microwave or in a little saucepan over the stove.
   
   Pour it into a medium-sized mixing bowl, then add the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
   
   Mix everything together with a whisk., Keep stirring with your whisk until the color and texture are even.
   
   There should be no streaks of egg yolk left behind., Gently pat down the flour mixture, then make a large well in the middle.
   
   Pour the milk mixture into it, then stir everything together with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
   
   Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl so that everything mixes in evenly.
   
   A few lumps here and there are okay., Do not get carried away; you just need the chocolate chips to be distributed evenly throughout the batter.
   
   If you over-mix the batter, the pancakes will turn out tough.
   
   Try to use mini chocolate chips.
   
   You can find them in the baking section of your local grocery story.
   
   Regular chocolate chips are too chunky. , Once the skillet is hot, lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray.
   
   You can tell if the pan is hot enough if you flick some water on it, and the water sizzles., You can do this with a measuring cup or a soup ladle.
   
   Depending on the size of the pan, you may be able to fit a few more pancakes—make sure that they don't touch, however! , The pancake is ready to flip when it starts to form bubbles and the bubbles burst.
   
   As soon as you see the bubbles, wait for them to pop, then slide a spatula under the pancake and flip it over. , Once both sides are golden brown, slide the pancake onto a plate, then make the rest.
   
   You will need to re-grease the frying pan every few pancakes. , You can serve chocolate chip pancakes with maple syrup like plain pancakes.
   
   You can also add some fresh berries or even ice cream.
   
   For a real treat, serve them with some sliced strawberries or a sliced banana.
