These delightful red velvet pancakes are soft, fluffy, and perfect for a special breakfast. Topped with cream cheese frosting, they’re not only beautiful but also delicious.
Start by whisking together your dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This will help to create a fluffy pancake base.
In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, vegetable oil, red food coloring, and vanilla extract. Mix these wet ingredients until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix, as this could make your pancakes tough.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface.
Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve warm, topped with your favorite cream cheese frosting or maple syrup for a special treat.
Notes
These pancakes are a fun twist on a classic breakfast. Enjoy them any time you crave something a little extra special!
