Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
Cream Cheese Glaze
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, vegetable oil, and red food coloring. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or cooking spray.
- Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
