Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Cooking

  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the buttermilk, egg, granulated sugar, red food coloring, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  3. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes fluffy.
  4. Prepare the skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook pancakes in heart-shaped mold: Place a heart-shaped mold onto the skillet and pour the batter inside. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then carefully remove the mold, flip the pancake, and cook the other side until golden brown.
  6. Serve: Serve the heart-shaped red velvet pancakes warm, topped with syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick skillet for best results and easier flipping.
  • Red food coloring can be adjusted according to desired vibrancy.
  • If you don’t have a heart-shaped mold, freehand the shapes or use a cookie cutter after cooking.
  • For fluffier pancakes, do not overmix the batter.
  • Buttermilk can be substituted with milk mixed with 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice.
