Ingredients

  • 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tbspsugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups of milk
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp redliquid food coloring
  • 3 tbspvegetable oil

FORCREAM CHEESE DRIZZLE:

  • 3 to 4 tbsp milk
  • 4 ounces cream cheese – softened
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch ofsalt
  • ¾ cup ofsugar – powdered

Instructions

  • Takeyour electric griddle and preheat at 350 F. In a large mixing bowl – add thecocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, flour and salt. Whisk together untilcombined completely.
  • Inanother bowl – add the egg yolks, food coloring, vegetable oil, milk and whisktogether until combined totally. Now pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredientswhile whisking the mixture and stir until moistened.
  • In another separate bowl – place the egg white and beat until stiff peaks form. Tolighten the pancake batter – mix one-third of the egg whites into the batter.Now fold the rest egg whites into the batter thoroughly.
  • If you are not using an electric griddle like me – heat a heavy cast iron ornon-stick griddle over medium heat. Brush melted butter or use non-stickcooking spray to oil the surface of the pan. Now use a measuring cup and pour 1/3cup of batter onto the griddle.
    Before you put the batter on, ensure it is hot perfectly. Cook for 3 minutes oruntil you see small bubbles and the edges dry out. Now flip it to for more 90seconds. Keep the pancakes hot – use a baking sheet and place the pancakes inthe oven while cooking the rest of the batter.
  • Now you will need to continue the process and complete the cooking. At this point –you may need to oil the surface of the pan and reduce the heat temperature (Ialways reduce heat from medium to medium-low heat and I get fluffy pancakesevery time).
  • Forcream cheese drizzle: In a bowl – beat the vanilla, cream cheese, salt andpowdered sugar. To make a pourable consistency – use enough milk in the mixtureas well.
  • Now serve the beautiful and deliciously healthy pancakes with the cream cheese drizzle on the table immediately to enjoy the best taste out of it. Or, put thepancakes in your oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit to keep them warm.
