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 thoroughly combined to ensure even distribution of leavening and flavor.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, large egg, granulated sugar, red food coloring, and vanilla extract. Whisk these together until the mixture is smooth and uniform in color.
  3. Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just mixed, taking care not to overmix to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  4. Prepare Cooking Surface: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and help achieve a golden crust.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Place a heart-shaped mold in the skillet and pour the batter into the mold. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and edges are set, then carefully remove the mold and flip the pancake. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve warm, paired with syrup or whipped cream for added sweetness and presentation.

Notes

  • Use a silicone or metal heart-shaped mold suitable for stovetop use to form the desired shape.
  • Adjust the red food coloring amount to achieve your preferred color intensity.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute buttermilk with almond milk mixed with a teaspoon of lemon juice.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure pancakes stay fluffy and tender.
  • Maintain medium heat to avoid burning while cooking pancakes thoroughly.
