Scale

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tbsp sugar

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup buttermilk

2/3 cup milk

1 large egg

2 tbsp melted butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

Orange food coloring

2 tbsp cocoa powder (for chocolate batter)

Cooking spray or butter (for griddle)

Mini chocolate chips, candy eyes, or whipped cream for decoration

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. In another bowl, mix buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.

3. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring just until blended (do not overmix).

4. Divide the batter into two bowls. Tint one portion with orange food coloring. Add cocoa powder to the other to create a chocolate batter.

5. Preheat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.

6. Pour 1/4 cup of orange batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

7. Use a squeeze bottle or piping bag to drizzle chocolate batter on top in spiderweb or ghost patterns.

8. Serve warm, decorated with mini chocolate chips, candy eyes, or whipped cream for a spooky touch.

You can use natural food coloring like pumpkin purée for an orange tint.

Serve with maple syrup or chocolate sauce for extra sweetness.

Perfect for kids’ Halloween morning breakfast or brunch parties.
