Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) buttermilk (or milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice/vinegar)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons red food coloring (liquid or gel)
  • 4 ounces (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Wooden skewers
  • Optional toppings: fresh strawberries or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. (5 minutes)
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until smooth and combined. (5 minutes)
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Batter should be thick but pourable. (2 minutes)
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Test heat by sprinkling water drops; they should dance and evaporate quickly.
  5. Using a tablespoon or small scoop, pour batter onto skillet to form small 2-inch rounds. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, then flip and cook 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter. (15-20 minutes)
  6. While pancakes cook, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2-3 tablespoons milk until smooth and pourable glaze forms. Adjust milk or powdered sugar as needed. (5 minutes)
  7. Thread 4-5 pancake bites onto each wooden skewer, alternating with optional strawberries or chocolate chips if desired.
  8. Drizzle cream cheese glaze generously over pancake skewers just before serving. Enjoy immediately. (5 minutes)

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes. Use buttermilk or a substitute for tang and fluffiness. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while finishing the batch. Soak wooden skewers if grilling or toasting later. Let pancakes cool slightly before threading on skewers to prevent squishing.
