We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  • Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, whole milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the wet ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

  • Step 3: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking continuously. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  • Step 4: Add red gel food coloring to the batter, a few drops at a time, until the desired blood-red color is achieved. Mix well until the color is evenly distributed.

  • Step 5: Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grease the surface with cooking oil or butter.

  • Step 6: Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the griddle to form round pancake shapes. Make them about 4-5 inches in diameter.

  • Step 7: Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip them gently and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.

  • Step 8: While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the red berry syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the red berries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or solids.

  • Step 9: In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form.

  • Step 10: Stack the Dracula's Blood Red Velvet Pancakes on a serving plate. Drizzle the red berry syrup generously over the pancakes, allowing it to drip down the sides.

  • Step 11: Serve the pancakes with a dollop of whipped cream on top.

  • Step 12: Sink your fangs into the delicious Dracula's Blood Red Velvet Pancakes and enjoy their vampiric flavor!
