Ingredients
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (29.5 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup (67 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ¼ cups (306 g) buttermilk, room temperature
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, butter, and vanilla together.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Whisk until all ingredients are just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
- Let the batter rest as you heat the skillet or griddle.
- Spray a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray. Heat over medium-low heat, about 300°F.
- When hot, pour ⅓ cup of batter into the skillet. Spread the batter out to about a 4 to 5-inch diameter.
- Working in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes, or until the bubbles begin popping on top.
- Gently, but quickly, flip over the pancakes. Cook an additional 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer doughy.
- Between batches, wipe the skillet or griddle with a paper towel to prevent sticking.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
