Red Velvet Pancakes with Whipped Cream and Pistachios

In a large bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix the dry ingredients well.

In another bowl, beat the eggs with buttermilk, vanilla extract, melted butter, and red food coloring (or beetroot powder).

Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and gently mix with a whisk or spatula until you get a homogeneous and slightly airy batter. Do not overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy.
