Chocolate Pancake

Ingredients

• 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 1/4 cups buttermilk
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 3 tbsp cooking oil

Method

1. In a large bowl combine flour and other dry ingredients.(I like to put the cocoa through a sieve to get rid of any lumps)
2. In a second bowl, combine remaining ingredients.
3. Stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until slightly lumpy.
4. Heat a lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat until a few drops of water dance across surface.
5. Reduce heat to medium-low. For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter onto griddle. Cook until lightly browned; turn when tops are bubbly and edges are slightly dry (about 2 to 3 minutes per side). Makes 16 pancakes.
