In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking cocoa,
baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir well.

In separate large bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk,
unsalted butter, vanilla extract and food coloring. Add
to flour mixture; stir to combine. Allow mixture to sit
5 minutes.

Heat nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush
with oil or butter. Add about 1/4 cup batter to skillet.

Cook about 2 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on
top. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes, or until bottom is lightly
browned. Serve immediately with butter, powdered
sugar, syrup and berries, if desired.

Tip: If using pancake or cookie
cutters, be sure to coat with oil so
pancakes don’t stick. Place cutters
in skillet and pour batter into
cutters. Remove cutters
before flipping.
