Pancake ala Hevyn Recipe

There was a time in my life when I depend mostly on boxed cakes, brownies and pancakes. But now is a different time and I love doing things from scratch it saves me and my family from ingesting a lot of unnecessary chemicals. So, recently I realized pancake is one of the easiest breakfast I can make and I've been into a lot of experiment in finding the right one for me. I don't want the usually bland tasting pancakes, I wanted a creamy sort of cake pancake. So this one is what I perfected today to suite my taste, hopefully my kids and husband too. What I came up with is thick pancake, creamier than usual pancake and I'm so happy with the outcome of it that I'll name it after my daughter. lol

Pancake Ala Hevyn

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp condensed milk
1 1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Some Hershey's Chocolate chips (optional)

1. Sift the flour and mix it with the baking powder and salt, then add the butter and try to mix it in the flour mixture.
2. Add in the condensed milk, milk, eggs and vanilla. Mix using a fork until well incorporated, there will still be some lumps but not as big as a grain of rice. it's ok, don't over mix it else you might end up with a rubbery  batter.
3. Heat your pan in a low heat, you may rub a little bit of a butter to prevent from sticking or skip this if using a non-stick skillet.
4. Pour half a cup on the skillet and sprinkle chocolate chips then top the chocolate chips with a little bit more of the pancake batter so it wouldn't stick or melt to your skillet when you flip it over.
