Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 2 tbsp red food coloring

  2. In another bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, melted butter, red food coloring, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  4. Preheat your griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.

  6. Serve warm with cream cheese frosting or maple syrup.

Keywords: For added flavor, you can include chocolate chips or nuts in the batter. Letting the batter rest for about 10 minutes before cooking helps achieve fluffiness. Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
