CHOCOLATE PANCAKES

CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY SAUCE

CHOCOLATE PANCAKES: In a medium-sized bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together egg white, milk, oil and vanilla. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gradually whisk in the liquid mixture, stirring just until combined.

Let the batter stand for 5 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium low heat. When hot, coat it lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Drop 3 to 4 pancakes, using about 1½ tablespoons batter per pancake, into the pan and cook until the underside is browned and the bubbles on top remain open, 1 to 1 ½ minutes. Turn the pancakes over and cook until the underside is browned, about 15 seconds.

Repeat with the remaining batter. Arrange the pancakes on dessert plates.
