# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
06 - 1 1/4 cups cherry soda
07 - 1/2 cup whole milk
08 - 2 large eggs
09 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 - Few drops red or pink food coloring
→ Decorations
12 - 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
13 - 1/4 cup chocolate chips
14 - Candy eyes or colored sprinkles
15 - Whipped cream
# How to Make It:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until uniform.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk cherry soda, whole milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and food coloring if desired until thoroughly combined.
03 - Pour wet mixture into the dry mixture and gently fold with a whisk or spatula until just incorporated; avoid overmixing. Some small lumps are acceptable.
04 - Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle to medium temperature and lightly grease using butter or oil to prevent sticking.
05 - Pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form and edges appear set, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
06 - Stack pancakes on plates while warm. Garnish with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips to create monster eyes, add candy eyes or colored sprinkles for playful decoration, and serve with whipped cream.
