Red Velvet Pancakes with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting
Pancake ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- 3 Tbsp. cocoa
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- 1 ½ tsp. baking powder
- 2 cups buttermilk
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp. white vinegar
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp. red food coloring
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
Frosting ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
Directions
Preheat an electric nonstick griddle to medium/low heat. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder baking soda and baking powder, set aside. In a liquid measuring cup add buttermilk, sugar, vinegar, eggs, food coloring, vanilla and vegetable oil and whisk until fluffy and well combined. Slowly add wet ingredients to the bowl with dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not over mix batter. Butter griddle generously and pour about a 1/4 - 1/3 cup batter at a time onto hot griddle. Cook until bubbles begin to appear on the top surface of the pancakes then flip and cook opposite side until pancake is cooked through but before they turn golden brown. Check doneness by using a spatula and gently lifting the underside of the pancake. Drizzle a stack with frosting or lightly spread each pancake with the icing.
