Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (180 g)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups milk (300 ml), room temperature (whole or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen cherries (150–200 g), pitted and halved
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (90 g)
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream (45 ml), warm
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cherries: In a small bowl, toss the pitted and halved cherries with lemon juice and sugar. Set aside for about 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix gently to combine.
  4. Make the batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring just until combined. Gently fold in the macerated cherries.
  5. Heat the pan: Warm your skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  6. Cook the pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup (60 ml) of batter per pancake onto the hot surface. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes more until golden.
  7. Make the chocolate drizzle: Combine chocolate chips and heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and glossy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter if using.
  8. Serve: Stack pancakes on plates and drizzle generously with warm chocolate sauce. Add extra fresh cherries or powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use room temperature eggs and milk for better rise. Thaw and drain frozen cherries well to avoid soggy pancakes. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven if making a big batch. Reheat chocolate drizzle gently before serving.
