Chocolate Chip Pancakes Made With Fresh Laban

Friday mornings are all about pancakes.  My daughter says this is the best day of the week.

I haven’t been able to find buttermilk here in the UAE but Al Marai’s Laban is a very good substitute and actually I prefer the taste of the tangy, thick and rich laban over buttermilk.

This recipe is from Joy The Baker’s blog.  Have you ever visited her blog?  Everything I have seen so far is delicious!

Here is the recipe adapted from her Milk Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Pancakes

2 cups of flour

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

2 cups of Al Marai Laban (I used full fat laban or you can substitute with 2 cups of yogurt)

4 tablespoons of melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

¾ cup of chocolate chips

Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a medium-sized bowl.  Mix well.

Add the eggs, laban, melted butter, and vanilla.  Whisk it all together.

Add the chocolate chips and gently mix into the batter.

Over a medium heat, in a lightly buttered pan, pour in ¼ cup of the batter.  Cook until the top of the pancake forms small bubbles on the surface.  Turn the pancake over and cook until the bottom gets to be a nice golden brown color (about a minute).

Repeat until you use up all of the batter.  Place the cooked pancakes onto a platter and place in a warm oven until ready to serve.  Enjoy!
