Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine baking mix, milk, 1/4 cup chocolate syrup, and the egg. Mix until thoroughly combined. (Batter will be thin.) Stir in chocolate chips.

Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Melt 1 teaspoon shortening then pour 1/4-cupfuls of batter onto the griddle, making sure to scoop up chips from bottom of bowl. Cook 1 minute, or until bubbles start to form on top of pancakes. Flip pancakes, and cook 1 to 2 more minutes, or until golden. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more shortening as needed. Cover to keep warm.

Place 1 pancake on each plate; place a small amount of banana and strawberry slices on each pancake. Dollop each with whipped cream, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and top with a cherry.
