Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 3 tbsp granulated sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt until fully combined.
2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup buttermilk, 1 large egg, 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 1 tbsp red food coloring, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
4. Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set; flip and cook 1-2 minutes more until cooked through.
5. Step 5: For the blueberry web drizzle, combine 1 cup blueberries, 1/4 cup water, 2 tbsp powdered sugar, and 1 tsp lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, mashing the berries occasionally until thickened and saucy.
6. Step 6: Using a spoon, drizzle the blueberry sauce over the pancakes in web-like patterns to mimic Spider-Man’s iconic webbing and serve immediately.
