Pancakes
- Place the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cocoa powder, and baking soda in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Add the buttermilk, water, oil, red food coloring, egg, and vanilla. Stir with a spoon until smooth. (If the batter seems too thick while you’re cooking the pancakes, add a little more buttermilk and mix well.)
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Brush with a little oil.
- Pour in the batter until it spreads to the desired size. Wait until you see small bubbles form on top of the batter before you turn the pancake over to finish cooking. Be careful not to let the heat get too high because the pancakes will brown.
- To serve, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over a stack of 2 or 3 pancakes.
