Chocolate - Chocolate Pancakes With Raspberry Sauce
"Found this one in a magazine and it is good! The title of the article that caught my eye was "Chocolate For Breakfast"....how could I not look? Need I say that the raspberry sauce can be optional, the pancakes are VERY good either way! Enjoy!"
- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 14
- Yields:
-
12-20 pancakes
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 1 2⁄3 cups flour
- 1⁄3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 1 1⁄2 cups milk
- 1 pint raspberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 1⁄4 cup raspberry liqueur
directions
- To make the pancakes, sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt & sugar into a large mixing bowl. Add the chocolate chips to the dry ingredients.
- Beat the eggs and vanilla together.
- Add the melted butter and most of the milk (1 1/4 cups) to the eggs and vanilla and continue to blend.
- Pour the liquid mix over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly. It should be the consistency of a really good chocolate milkshake, if not, slowly add remaining milk till consistency is attained.
- To make raspberry sauce, place half the raspberries in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir in the sugar, water and liqueur. When the raspberries start to collapse and liquefy, turn the heat down to low, and cook until they're very soft.
- Pour through a strainer to remove the seeds, pushing against the solids to extract all of the juice. Add the remainder of the raspberries to the juice, and stir. Set aside until pancakes are done.
- To cook the pancakes, place a griddle or a large skillet over moderate heat, and brush the surface with a little melted butter. Using a ladle, drop batter onto the griddle to make pancakes about 2-3 inches across.
- Cook until the edges begin to look dry and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip gently and cook for another minute or so on the other side.

I am a coastal California girl, relocated to Arizona a few years back now. I never thought I would like Arizona, we were giving this locale a two year trial period. Well I'm here to say I love it here!! The state, the weather, the community and all that goes with it. Our favorite time of day is the morning, sitting out on the back patio with our coffee, watching all the bird life; quails, thrashers, sparrows, woodpeckers, starlings, mockingbirds, wrens and the cottontail bunny rabbits and the occasional coyote passing through the yard. We have wonderful weather 10 months out of the year, great sunsets and great neighbors, who could ask for more! My folks came to visit us, fell in love with the community as well and in three days they bought a place too! My Mom calls me the president of the Chamber of Commerce, because I showed her the benefits and amenities of our community, so that she fell in love with it as well. So I took the next logical step and got my Real Estate license and became a Realtor. I am passionate about my new community, my new profession and all the regional southwest cooking possibilities!
