- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 180 ml buttermilk
- 1 large egg

- 1 tablespoon red gel food coloring
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 80 ml dark cherry syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 40 g shelled pistachios, finely chopped

Instructions
- Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.

- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
