Here's how you can make this delicious treat at home:
Ingredients
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup salted butter (melted)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons red food colouring
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups of milk
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• For garnish (optional): fresh raspberries and mint leaves
For the cream cheese glaze:
• a third of a cup of milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 tablespoons softened butter
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 170 g cream cheese (softened)
Method:
• A non-stick electric griddle should be preheated to 350 degrees. Flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt should all be combined in a mixing bowl before setting it aside. Pour the milk into a liquid measuring cup, add the vinegar, and whisk. Let the mixture sit for two minutes.
• Add sugar, eggs, red food colouring, vanilla, and melted butter to the milk mixture in a separate, large mixing bowl. Stir the mixture thoroughly. Add the dry ingredients gradually while whisking, then blend just until combined.
• Depending on the size of your pancakes, add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter at a time to the heated griddle.
• Pancakes should be cooked until bubbles appear on the top surface before flipping and continuing to cook on the other side.
• Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves, if desired, and serve warm with a cream cheese glaze.
• For the cream cheese glaze, combine the cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until well combined and frothy, about 2 minutes.
• Then add the remaining ingredients and whisk everything together for approximately a minute; if needed, add more milk to thin it out. Keep it in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
