Description
Make classic red velvet cake flavors into easy breakfast pancakes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the griddle
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and vinegar.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Stir in the red food coloring and cocoa powder until the batter is uniformly red. A few small lumps are acceptable.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
Notes
- Serve with cream cheese glaze or whipped cream for a true red velvet experience.
- For a richer color, use gel food coloring instead of liquid.
