In a large bowl, put the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix them well with a whisk.
In a medium bowl, put the milk and egg. Whisk them together.
Pour the milk mixture into the big bowl with the dry stuff. Mix gently. It will still be a bit lumpy, but that is okay.
Put the butter in a small bowl and microwave it until it melts.
Add the vanilla extract to the melted butter and mix well.
Pour the butter and vanilla mixture into the flour and milk mixture. Mix gently. DO NOT OVER MIX.
Add the chocolate chips and fold them in gently.
Heat a medium-sized nonstick skillet over medium heat, or if you are using a griddle, heat it to medium. Add a little butter or spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Turn the pan down to medium-low heat and pour the pancake batter into the pan. You can make big pancakes or small pancakes.
When bubbles form around the edges of the pancake, gently flip it over to finish cooking.
