Red Velvet Pancakes

Valentine's Day this year is on a Tuesday and it's a working day so the kids can't eat relaxed breakfast. So, I made these red Velvet pancakes for them over the weekend. Both of them loved it and pretty much said they love this variation compared to regular pancakes.
The recipe is super simple. I took my regular pancake batter and add cocoa powder and red food coloring. That's it, but the taste was just amazing.
Funny part is my maid stays away from any sweet dish but she got tempted by the color of the pancakes, so I made it for her breakfast and she loved it.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 3 minutes per pancake
Makes : 6 large pancakes

Ingredients:

Cold Milk : 3/4th cup
Vinegar: 2 tablespoons
All purpose flour: 1 cup
Sugar : 2 tablespoons
Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
Baking soda : 1/2 teaspoon
Salt : 1/2 teaspoon
Egg : 1 large
Melted unsalted butter : 2 tablespoons
Cocoa powder : 1 teaspoon
Red food coloring: 1/4 teaspoon
Powdered sugar : For serving

Method:

Combine milk and vinegar to make sour milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Add all dry ingredients in a bowl and mix.
Add egg and butter to the milk. Whisk them together and add this mixture to the dry ingredients.
Whisk well to make a smooth batter.
Add cocoa powder, red food coloring and whisk well.
Heat a frying pan or a griddle, grease it with butter or spray oil and pour batter on to the pan and cook until bubbles appear on the top.
Flip the pancake and cook for 1 minute or until is light brown on the other side.
Serve hot with some powdered sugar and syrup.
