Tomorrow is sweetest day... A holiday only celebrated in Ohio, A holiday Hallmark or some greeting card company made up to sell cards in the down time... whatever reason, its a day to celebrate love, and all that jazz... blah blah blah..
The way I talk, people probly think Im single and lonely lol. But Im not.. Im married.. 5 years now!
Anyways.... We dont celebrate Sweetest day. I blame it on my husband not being from ohio.. or the USA!
But Im totally ok with it. I could ask him to go buy me something, or a card, or take me to dinner and he would be more then happy to. But there is no need to!
I came across this recipe today while looking through a cookbook. It is PERFECT for sweetest day, or valentines day!!!
RED... VELVET... PANCAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!
makes 8 pancakes
1½ cups minus 1½ tablespoons buttermilk
(1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar use this if you dont have buttermilk. 1 1/2 cups of milk with the vinegar to make buttermilk substitute)
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons red food coloring
1 tablespoon chocolate chips
Whisk together milk and vinegar and set aside to curdle.
In a mixing bowl, all purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda. Make a well in the center, and pour in milk mixture and food coloring. Mix until combined.
Preheat skillet or griddle on medium heat. Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter. Once bubbles form, gently flip and cook for a few more minutes.
Top with chocolate chips and cream cheese frosting.
( no pictures until tomorrow morning.. will update tomorrow ;)
