Creating Chocolate Cherry Pancakes is an enjoyable process if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vegetable oil until smooth.
3. Mix Together: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be a bit lumpy.
4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and cherries, being cautious not to break the fruit.
5. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a pat of butter or a spray of cooking oil.
6. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, an additional 1-2 minutes.
7. Keep Warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in the oven (set to low) while you cook the remaining batter.
8. Serve Immediately: Once all pancakes are cooked, serve them warm with additional cherries and chocolate syrup if desired.
