Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons espresso powder or finely ground instant coffee
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup strongly brewed coffee (or 1 1/2 teaspoons espresso powder dissolved in 1/2 cup water)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- To make the pancakes: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, espresso powder, sugar and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg, milk and melted butter. Stir together until combined (a few lumps are OK). Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto a heated griddle and cook each side until lightly browned. Serve hot with whipped cream and mocha syrup.
- To make the mocha syrup: In a small saucepan, whisk together coffee, cocoa powder, sugar and salt, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Stir until syrup begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. May be served warm or chilled — and is especially delicious on top of ice cream.
