Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

02

Step
2 mins

Whisk 2 cups milk and vinegar together in a bowl; let rest until milk sours, about 2 minutes.

03

Step
0 mins

Sift flour, white sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl; whisk to combine.

04

Step
0 mins

Whisk milk mixture, melted unsalted butter, eggs, red food coloring, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract together in a bowl.

05

Step
0 mins

Pour milk mixture into flour mixture and stir until just combined; the batter should be lumpy.

06

Step
3 mins

Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat and spray with cooking spray. Drop batter by 1/4-cup onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Transfer cooked pancakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven.

07

Step
2 mins

Beat cream cheese and softened butter together in a bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup confectioners' sugar, 1/4 milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat until smooth, adding more milk to reach desired consistency. Pour cream cheese glaze over pancakes and dust with remaining confectioners' sugar.

For an extra touch of elegance, garnish the pancakes with fresh berries or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings.
The batter can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Whisk gently before using.
Adjust the amount of red food coloring to achieve your desired shade of red velvet. Gel food coloring is recommended for the most vibrant color.
Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in tough pancakes. A few lumps are perfectly fine.
