[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]If it\u2019s indulgent home-comforts you\u2019re after, these red velvet pancakes will easily rival your sweetest lemon cr\u00eapes.<\/p>\n

Served with dark chocolate chips, honey-infused cream cheese frosting and a glug of thick chocolate sauce \u2014\u00a0they\u2019ve quickly become my favourite way to eat cake for breakfast. And only take 30 minutes to make!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need to start your day on a sweet note.<\/p>\n

Ingredients (Serves 2)<\/h2>\n

For the pancakes:<\/b><\/p>\n

115g self raising flour<\/p>\n

15g cocoa powder<\/p>\n

1 tsp baking powder<\/p>\n

1 tbsp honey<\/p>\n

2 eggs<\/p>\n

1 tbsp vegetable oil, plus extra for frying<\/p>\n

130ml milk<\/p>\n

A couple of drops of red food colouring<\/p>\n

30g dark chocolate chips<\/p>\n

For the cream cheese frosting:<\/b><\/p>\n

1.5 tbsp honey<\/p>\n

120g cream cheese<\/p>\n

To serve:<\/b><\/p>\n

Chocolate sauce and chocolate shavings<\/p>\n

Method<\/h2>\n

Step 1:<\/b> Grab a bowl and mix together the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the middle of your dry ingredients and add the eggs, honey, veg oil, milk and food colouring.<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/b> Beat the wet ingredients together then stir in the dry ingredients until you have a batter. Don\u2019t worry if there are a few lumps.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/b> Don\u2019t over-mix your batter! It will make your pancakes less fluffy (and no one likes a limp pancake).<\/p>\n

Step 3: <\/b>Heat some oil in a non-stick frying pan. Ladle in 1\/6 of your batter then sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top. Cook for 2 minutes, or until bubbles form on top of the pancake, then flip over and cook for another 2 minutes until golden. Repeat with the remaining batter.<\/p>\n

Tip: <\/b>Use medium heat until the pan is hot, then reduce to a medium-low. Blasting the heat will burn your cakes (or cr\u00eapes). Once they\u2019re cooked, keep them warm under a tea towel.<\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/b> While your pancakes cook, mix the cream cheese and remaining honey together. This is your sweet, cream cheese frosting.<\/p>\n

Step 5:<\/b> Serve your pancakes with a dollop of cream cheese frosting and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings. Then add a good drizzle of chocolate sauce over the stack. Enjoy![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
