Red Velvet Pancakes

By cheeserohan

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 Tablespoons white sugar
• 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
• 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 Tablespoon red food coloring
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and creme fraiche/sour cream, melted butter, red food coloring, and vanilla extract. Add them together and whisk just until combined. A little lumpy is fine. Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium high heat. When hot add butter or oil to grease, followed by a small scoop of the batter. Wait for the pancakes to bubble (2-3 minutes), flip and cook for a minute or two more.
