# What You Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon fine salt
04 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 3/4 teaspoon baking powder

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 2 cups buttermilk
08 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

→ Additions

09 - 1 jar (10 ounces) Maraschino cherries, drained and chopped, plus extra cherries reserved for topping
10 - 3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
11 - Additional unsalted butter for greasing griddle or skillet

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat, ensuring surface is evenly heated.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
03 - Add the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips to the dry ingredients and mix evenly.
04 - In a large bowl, beat eggs until blended. Add buttermilk and melted butter, stirring to combine well.
05 - Mix in the chopped Maraschino cherries, reserving a few for garnishing if desired.
06 - Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
07 - Lightly coat the preheated griddle or skillet with unsalted butter to prevent sticking.
08 - Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour portions of batter onto the hot griddle, leaving space between each pancake.
09 - Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
10 - Transfer pancakes to plates and garnish with reserved cherries. Serve immediately.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For lighter pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter. Additional butter may be needed to keep each batch from sticking.
