Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (190g)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk (300ml) or milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar as substitute
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (120g)
  • 1/2 cup milk (120ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until smooth.
  3. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; batter should be thick with a few small lumps.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until cooked through and slightly springy.
  6. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F/95°C) while finishing the batch.
  7. To make the cream cheese syrup, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Slowly add milk and vanilla extract, beating until silky and pourable. Adjust milk for desired consistency and add a pinch of salt if desired.
  8. Serve pancakes stacked and generously drizzled with cream cheese syrup. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries or chopped nuts.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best rise. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven to avoid cold pancakes. Cream cheese should be softened to room temperature for smooth syrup. Adjust milk in syrup for desired consistency. For vegan or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients as suggested.
