Now I know that February is the month of love, so to speak… It’s the month of letting that one person you love so much know how you feel.  It’s a time to shower them with gifts of yummy chocolates and sweet smelling flowers.  Now if you ask me this kind of affection and love telling should be done on a regular basis and not just during one day.  But because Valentine’s Day is tomorrow and I know how much all of you must be wanting to make something special I wanted to share a recipe that has definitely been a huge success and quite popular on my blog… Pink Velvet Pancakes.  Now its just like my Red Velvet Pancakes but PINK… HOT PINK! 🙂

I didn’t add the chocolate chips in these, but was definitely going to add white chocolate chips but ran out of them, unfortunately… they would of for sure been great.  I did dust powdered sugar all over and slathered maple syrup on top.  Trust me these will perk anyone up and make them smile.  I really do hope you enjoy them as much my cutie pies did…

Happy Valentine’s Day… Now start cooking!

Pink Velvet Pancakes

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons granulated sugar

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 large eggs

1-1/2 cups buttermilk

1/2 cup sour cream

2 teaspoons pink food coloring

4 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, sour cream, food coloring and vanilla.

Add wet ingredients to dry, and mix just until combined.  As you see I almost forgot the pink food coloring so added that at the end.

Pour about 1/3 cup onto medium/high griddle and lightly brown on both sides.

Sprinkle powdered sugar on top and serve with maple syrup.

Enjoy!
