Instructions

  • Start by whisking together your dry ingredients (flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt, and sugar.)
    2 cups Flour, 3 tbsp Cocoa powder, 4 tsp Baking Powder, 1/2 tsp Salt, 3 tbsp Sugar

  • Pour batter into a piping bag for less mess. Heat up a skillet on medium heat. Grease your skillet with butter and squeeze batter into the center of the skillet.
  • Cook your pancake until edges are cooked through and bubbles on top begin to pop. Flip quickly and cook the remaining side, until cooked through. Repeat until the batter is used up.
  • Stack your pancakes placing white frosting between each pancake. Top your stack off with additional icing and crushed peppermint.

  • Serve and enjoy! The perfect pancakes for Christmas morning.

Notes

  • Transferring the batter to a piping bag is required but it does make it easier to make perfect pancakes with less mess. If you don't want to do this, just use a measuring cup or ladle to spoon the batter onto your griddle.
  • While frosting is delicious, you could also top these with a drizzle of chocolate syrup and a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Butter your griddle every few pancakes to keep the pancakes from sticking.
