Instructions

  • For pancakes

    1. Preheat an electric non-stick griddle to 350 degrees.
    2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
    3. In a liquid measuring cup, combine milk and vinegar. Allow the mixture to rest for 2 minutes.
    4. Pour the milk mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add sugar, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla, and melted butter. Whisk until well combined.

    6. Butter the griddle if necessary. Pour about a 1/4 - 1/3 cup of batter at a time onto the hot griddle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until the pancake is cooked through.
