Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- Whipped cream for topping
- Red syrup or strawberry sauce for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix well, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together 1 cup of buttermilk, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of red food coloring. Stir until fully combined.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Fold gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough.
- Heat the Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grease lightly with oil or cooking spray if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Pancakes: Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the pancakes hot off the skillet, topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of red syrup or strawberry sauce. Enjoy your deliciously spooky breakfast!
Notes
