  • 2 tbsp cocoa
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt

  • 1 tbsp red food colouring

Butter Pecan Maple Syrup

  • Ingredients:
  • 1/2 lb. butter melted
  • 1 cup pecan halves lightly toasted in the oven
  • 1 cup maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the dry ingredients and make a well in the center.

  2. Stir the wet ingredients except for the melted butter together and pour into the well in the dry ingredients.

  3. Mix together until nearly combined – you don’t want to overwork this batter.

  4. Fold in the melted butter.
