Instructions

  1. In a bowl or measuring cup add the milk and the two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, Let this mixture sit for 5 minutes. The milk and vinegar are mixed together to create a faux buttermilk.
  2. In a mixing bowl place all of the dry ingredients and mix together.
  3. After your milk mixture has rested for 5 minutes add it to the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients.
  4. Add in the vanilla extract and the eggs, mix everything together until just combined but do not over mix.
  5. Split your batter in half, pouring the second half of the batter into a separate bowl. In the second half of your batter add two tablespoons of activated charcoal.
  6. Add additional charcoal or food coloring gel if needed to reach the color or colors you desire.
  7. Heat a skillet to medium low heat and spritz with oil or a little butter. Pour in about a quarter cup of pancake batter. Let the pancake cook for a couple minutes until the bubbles that begin to appear start to pop. When the bubbles start to pop, use a spatula to flip the pancake over and cook for another 30 seconds to a minute until cooked through. Then remove from the pan and set aside.
  8. Continue this process with both colors of batter until all of the pancakes have been made.
  9. Serve. If pancake topping ideas are needed have a look at our suggestions. And it's always a great idea to have a list of delicious pancake side dishes on hand!

Notes

  • Don't overmix your batter. Overmixing leads to the development of too much gluten and tough pancakes.
  • Don't overcook the pancakes. They should be just golden brown.
  • Always let your pancake batter rest for about 5 minutes before making the pancakes.
  • Hold pancakes in the oven. Keep your oven on a very low temp 150-200, place pancakes as they finish cooking on a baking tray and keep them in the oven to keep them warm while you finish the entire batch.
  • If you're looking for wonderful syrup recipes and butters look no further!
