Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
2 large eggs, beaten

3/4 cup buttermilk
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted, plus more for skillet
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 oz. dark chocolate, chopped (about 1/3 cup)
Pure maple syrup, for serving

1. Step 1Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Combine eggs, juice, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla in a second bowl. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients just until combined. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
2. Step 2Fold zest and chocolate into batter. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly butter skillet, and pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook, until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve warm with maple syrup alongside.
