CHOCOLATE LOVER'S PANCAKES

Chocolate Lover's Pancakes image

These indulgent chocolate pancakes are fluffy on the inside, with a rich but not-too-sweet flavor from the cocoa and a nice tang from the buttermilk. They're delicious with either maple or chocolate syrup-and even better with both swirled together on the plate! -Harland Johns, Leesburg, Texas
