Charcoal Pancakes

 How to Make Charcoal Pancakes at Home

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp food-grade activated charcoal powder
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¾ cup milk (or plant-based alternative)
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp melted butter or oil

 Instructions:

1. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients Separately: In one bowl, whisk together the flour, charcoal powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another, combine the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
2. Combine and Stir: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the fluffiness.
3. Cook to Perfection: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour in the batter and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute.
4. Plate and Decorate: Serve with fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar for a striking contrast.
