Red Velvet Pancakes Recipe

Yields: Makes 24 pancakes

Active time:

Total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

• 2 large eggs

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 2 tablespoons red liquid food coloring

• Sweet Cream-Cheese Butter

• Garnish: powdered sugar

Directions

1. Sift together first 6 ingredients into a large bowl. Whisk together buttermilk and next 3 ingredients in another bowl. Gradually stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture just until dry ingredients are moistened.

2. Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto a hot buttered griddle or large nonstick skillet. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look dry and cooked. Turn and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until done. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet, and keep warm in a 200° oven up to 30 minutes.

3. Note: When using a griddle, heat it to 350°. Tip: For tender pancakes, don't overmix the batter; it should be lumpy.
