Eggless Red Velvet Pancake Ingredients

All-Purpose Flour Just your regular all-purpose flour i don’t know how they will turn out we make in whole wheat flour.

Coco Powder These give the pancakes their slight chocolaty flavor.

Baking Soda to react with the vinegar so that you get fluffy pancakes

Baking Powder so that the pancakes rise well.

Buttermilk so that the pancakes are nice and tangy just like a red velvet cake.

White Vinegar is the agent that reacts with the soda and produces carbon dioxide.

WHAT ARE EGGLESS RED VELVET PANCAKES?

Now these eggless red velvet pancakes are somewhat a cross between buttermilk pancakes and a regular pancake.

To make these eggless red velvet pancake batter these three ingredients are the key cocoa powder, red food gel, and white vinegar..

Even though these pancakes are red in color and are fluffy and light like regular pancakes they are slightly chocolate in flavor because of the coco powder.

But I know what you are thinking why add vinegar? why does a pancake need vinegar in it? The vinegar reacts with an acid in the batter (soda) which reacts and forms carbon dioxide. This is the reason why your eggless red velvet pancakes are nice and fluffy the carbon dioxide helps in fluffing them up.

TIPS FOR GREAT PANCAKES

1. Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature. When the ingredients are at room temperature they mix easily make sure your buttermilk is at room temperature as when you add the melted butter if your buttermeilk is cold the butter wont mix properly. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature too. This is the key to an awesome eggless red velvet pancake.
2. Since these are like mini cakes themselves someone who bakes cakes would know that room temperature ingredients are the key to a well-mixed batter and results in nice even fluffy cakes here it is pancakes.
3. You can substitute red color gel with beet powder if you are concerned about color consumption.
4. Keep the pan you cook these pancakes on well greased a nob of butter goes a long way.
5. Keep the cooked pancakes warm in the lowest setting of the oven. Line them on a heat-safe cooling rack so that they don’t get soggy.
