Ingredients for Chocolate Pancakes
To make the best chocolate pancake mix, gather the following ingredients:
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder red
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
Step-by-Step Guide to Making Chocolate Pancakes
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
Whisk the dry ingredients - flour, red cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt—in a big mixing bowl. Combine the milk, egg, vanilla essence, and melted butter in another bowl. Pour the wet ingredients slowly into the dry ones, swirling just enough to mix. Though not overly combined the batter should be smooth.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
Warm up a skillet or pan that doesn't stick over medium heat. Lightly grease with a little butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
Form little circles on the heating pan by pouring the batter ladle-wise. After about two minutes or when bubbles start to form on top, remove from heat. Flip the pancakes and cook for another minute until the center is thoroughly done and the edges are firm.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Stack the pancakes on a plate and add the things you like on top of them. These chocolate pancakes using cocoa powder are tasty whether you eat them with syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
