Yield about 20 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons whole milk
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Fine salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup melted and cooled unsalted butter, plus more for griddle
1/2 cup melted and cooled unsalted butter, plus more for griddle
2 teaspoons red food coloring

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk the cream cheese, sour cream, milk and confectioners' sugar until smooth in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a large bowl. Beat the eggs and granulated sugar in a medium bowl until pale yellow; beat in the buttermilk, melted butter, food coloring, vanilla and vinegar. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and fold just until incorporated.
  • Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly coat the hot skillet with melted butter.

RED VELVET PANCAKES



Red velvet pancakes image

New York diner-style chocolate pancakes meet red velvet cake in this ingenious brunch dish, stacked up with a sweet maple cream cheese frosting, chocolate chips and fresh blueberries.

Provided by Miriam Nice

Categories     Breakfast, Brunch

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

200g self raising flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp golden caster sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
230ml milk
3 eggs
25g butter , melted plus extra for frying
red gel food colouring
100g cream cheese
4 tbsp maple syrup
100g chocolate chips
icing sugar , for dusting
handful blueberries (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix all of the pancake ingredients (except the food colouring) together in a large bowl, whisk thoroughly until smooth. Now add a small amount of red food colouring and mix again. Add more colouring until the batter is a rich reddish brown.
  • Put a small knob of butter in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat and cook until melted and foaming. Pour 2 tbsp of the mixture into the pan and use the back of the spoon to shape it into a 8-9cm round disc. Depending on the size of your pan you may be able to get 2 or 3 pancakes to cook at the same time. Cook for 2-3 mins on the first side, then flip over and cook for another 1 min on the other.
  • Heat oven to its lowest setting and stack up the cooked pancakes on a baking tray to keep warm in the oven while you cook the rest. In a small bowl mix together the cream cheese and maple syrup then set aside until needed. To serve, stack the pancakes with the cream cheese mixture and chocolate chips in between them then finish with a final dollop of the cream cheese, a dusting of icing sugar and a few fresh blueberries if you like.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your pancakes the best flavor and texture. If possible, use organic ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking will allow the gluten to relax, resulting in lighter and fluffier pancakes.
  • Use a well-seasoned griddle or pan: A well-seasoned griddle or pan will help prevent the pancakes from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned griddle or pan, you can grease it with butter or cooking spray.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Flip the pancakes only once: Flipping the pancakes too often will make them tough. Flip them only once, when the edges start to look dry and bubbles form on the surface.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served immediately, while they're still warm and fluffy. You can top them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Red velvet pancakes are a delicious and festive treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect red velvet pancakes every time.
