Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Skillet or griddle
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Cream Cheese Glaze

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3-4 tbsp milk

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, melted butter, red food coloring, and vanilla extract. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  • Cook the Pancakes: Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Make the Cream Cheese Glaze: While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the glaze by whisking together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if necessary.
  • Serve: Stack the pancakes on plates, drizzle with the cream cheese glaze, and serve immediately.
