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, whisk the eggs with the buttermilk, vanilla extract, oil, 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 smooth and slightly airy batter. Do not overmix, to keep the pancakes fluffy.
