Servings: 12
Ingredients
PANCAKES:
- 1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 2 c. red velvet cake mix
- 1 T. granulated sugar
- 3/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 lg. eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 c. milk
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
- 4 oz. cream cheese softened
- 1/4 c. butter softened
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 c. confectioners' sugar
- 2-3 T. milk more if needed
Instructions
- PANCAKES: Whisk together all ingredients except for 1 cup milk. Add the remaining milk a 1/4 cup at a time until you've reached your desired pancake consistency (thinner batter for thinner pancakes, thicker batter for thicker pancakes).
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Coat with butter or spray with cooking spray. Once the pan is hot, ladle 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the pan and cook until bubbles start to form on the top, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip over and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or until light brown. Repeat with the remainder of the batter.
- CREAM CHEESE FROSTING: Beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla and confectioners' sugar one cup at a time, beat until smooth. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until you've reached the desired consistency. Using a fork, drizzle over pancakes and top with chocolate sprinkles.
Notes
For an extra special treat, sprinkle pancakes with semi-sweet chocolate chips before turning.
