Ingredients
•
2 cups milk
•
2 tablespoons white vinegar
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1/2 cup white sugar
•
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
•
2 teaspoons baking powder
•
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
•
2 large eggs
•
2 1/4 teaspoons red food coloring
•
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•
cooking spray
•
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
•
3 tablespoons butter, softened
•
1 cup confectioners' sugar
•
1/4 cup milk, plus more if needed
•
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar for dusting
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
2
Whisk 2 cups milk and vinegar together in a bowl; let rest until milk sours, about 2 minutes.
3
Sift flour, white sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl; whisk to combine.
4
Whisk milk mixture, melted unsalted butter, eggs, red food coloring, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract together in a bowl.
5
Pour milk mixture into flour mixture and stir until just combined; the batter should be lumpy.
6
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat and spray with cooking spray. Drop batter by 1/4-cup onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Transfer cooked pancakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven.
7
Beat cream cheese and softened butter together in a bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup confectioners' sugar, 1/4 milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat until smooth, adding more milk to reach desired consistency. Pour cream cheese glaze over pancakes and dust with remaining confectioners' sugar.
