Creating the perfect stack of Red Velvet Pancakes is simple. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, vegetable oil, red food coloring, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Preheat Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or butter.
5. Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until lightly browned.
6. Keep Warm: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes.
7. Repeat: Continue pouring and flipping until all the batter is used.
8. Serve: Stack the pancakes high on a serving plate, ready for your desired toppings.
