  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 4 servings (4 pancakes) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (slightly cooled)
  • Whipped cream or icing for decoration

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined—do not overmix.
  3. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or nonstick spray.

  5. Once slightly cooled, decorate with whipped cream or icing to create ghostly faces.
