These fluffy whiskey-infused chocolate chip pancakes combine a subtle warmth of whiskey with melty chocolate chips for a comforting and slightly boozy breakfast treat. Perfect for special occasions or a cozy weekend morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons whiskey (preferably smooth bourbon like Maker’s Mark)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, whiskey, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg yolks. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a rubber spatula to keep it airy.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips evenly without deflating the batter.
  7. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  8. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  9. Transfer cooked pancakes to a cooling rack or warm plate and repeat with remaining batter.
  10. Serve warm with butter and maple syrup or honey.

Notes

Fold the whipped egg whites gently to keep the batter airy and fluffy. Use medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in toaster or oven to maintain texture.
