Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons red food coloring
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar. In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, oil, food coloring, and vanilla until combined.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just mixed; small lumps are okay.
Let the batter rest for five minutes. Preheat your skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Pour about ? cup batter onto the skillet per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another minute until golden brown.
For the glaze, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, let your batter rest longer if time permits.
Serve with fresh berries or bacon for added flavor contrast.
