Hey there! Whether you love it or hate it, Valentines Day is upon us again, and that means being bombarded with cutesy merchandise, hearts, and all things red and pink. We usually just stay home, order in, and watch something cheesy on t.v. That's just a perfect evening for me! It's also a perfect excuse to try out some new recipes to surprise my hubby!
To start off the day on a sweet note, why not whip up some delicious, and colourful, red velvet pancakes with a drizzle of tangy, sweet cream cheese icing? Chocolately and fluffy, you can surprise your partner or eat the whole stack yourself and have absolutely no regrets whatsoever. Finely chop some chocolate and toast some nuts for a little extra crunch.

Pancakes:
475 ml flour/2 cups

½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
pinch salt
2 eggs
175 ml sugar/ 3/4 cup
300 ml buttermilk/ 1 1/4 cups
120 ml melted butter/ 1/2 cup
2 tbsp red gel colouring or a bottle of liquid red
1 tsp vanilla extract

Icing:
100 g cream cheese

  1. Sift together flour, salt, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.
  2. In separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thickened and pale in colour.
  3. Whisk in buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla, food colouring and vinegar.
