Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled to lukewarm, plus more for cooking

  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon pure mint extract (See Cooks’ Note)

  • 3 to 4 drops green food coloring (optional)

  • 3/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping

  • Whipped cream, for serving

  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

  • Store-bought or homemade hot fudge sauce, for serving

Directions

  • Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl.
  • Whisk together buttermilk, egg, butter, extracts, and food coloring (if using) in a small bowl. Add to dry ingredients and stir until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon butter; it should sizzle and melt almost immediately. Ladle 1/4 cup of pancake batter into skillet for each pancake, taking care not to let the pancakes run together. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until bottom is golden brown and edges begin to bubble, then carefully flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to plates. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Serve warm with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, hot fudge sauce, and more chocolate chips, if desired.
