Red Velvet Pancakes

Based on: the Kitchy Kitchen

 Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose Flour

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda

1/2 teaspoon Salt

3 tablespoons Sugar

2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

1 large Egg

3/4 cup Buttermilk

1/4 cup Sour Cream

3 tablespoons Butter, melted

1 tablespoon Red Food Coloring, mine was the gel kind

1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract

Chocolate Chips (optional)

Butter

Maple Syrup

Directions

In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the egg, buttermilk, sour cream, melted butter, red food coloring, and vanilla extract. Whisk just until combined. A little lumpy is fine. If the batter seems too thick, add a little more buttermilk.

Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium high heat. Grease with a small amount of butter. Once melted scoop pancake batter onto griddle in desired size – the girls like silver dollar size pancakes. Add 2 chocolate chips to each pancake. Wait for the pancakes to bubble (2-3 minutes), flip and cook for a minute or two more.

The Verdict

The girls love red velvet cupcakes, and I was seeing red velvet pancakes on food shows and on the internet – so we decided to try them out! Yum! They did turn out very tasty.
