Breakfast food doesn’t get much better than pancakes. But you can always improve on perfection! Add chocolate chips and peanut butter, and you’ve got something that’s worth serving up at any time of day. This is an edited extract from Peanut Butter by Tim Lannan and James Annabel, published by Hardie Grant Books, $22.99. Photography by Kate Berry.

185g (6 1/2oz/1 1/4 cups) plain (all-purpose) flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
250ml (8 1/2 fl oz/1 cup) milk of your choice
1 egg, lightly beaten, or egg substitute
60g (2 oz/ 1/4 cup) peanut butter, softened, plus extra to serve
100g (3 1/2 oz) chocolate chips or cacao nibs, plus extra to serve oil of your choice, for frying

Method

1.

Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl, then stir in the sugar and salt. Add the milk and egg and whisk gently to combine. Stir in the peanut butter and fold through the chocolate chips.
2.

Warm a little oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat and pour in 60ml (2 fl oz/ 1/4 cup) of batter. Cook until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to look dry, then flip and cook the other side for about 3 minutes, until both sides are golden brown.
3.

Layer your stack with extra peanut butter, top with chocolate chips and serve immediately.
