Pancakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Cook Pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top before flipping. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Prepare Cream Cheese Drizzle

    In a small bowl, whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a little milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if necessary.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with cream cheese mixture, and top with additional chocolate chips if desired.
