Red Velvet Pancakes w/ Cream Cheese Glaze Recipe

Pancakes

• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, & cocoa powder.
• Add in egg, buttermilk, butter, vanilla extract, & red food coloring
• *note* In the video I added in the red food coloring last, but after making these again, I think it’s easier to add the coloring in before stirring everything up.
• Stir it up gently until combined. The batter should still have a few lumps in it. You don’t want to stir it until it’s completely smooth.
• Let the batter sit for 10-15 minutes, while you make the glaze.

Glaze

• In a medium size bowl, add all of the cream cheese glaze ingredients and blend until smooth and silky. Set aside.
• Preheat griddle and grease with butter.
• When hot, add pancakes. I used ¼ cup per pancake.
• Flip with the first few bubbles start to break on the surface of the pancake.
• When the other side is soft and pillowy to the touch, it’s done!
• Stack on a plate.

Assemble

• Stack one pancake on a plate and spread on a layer of cream cheese glaze.
• Repeat with another pancake.
• Stack the third pancake and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
• Pipe on the cream cheese glaze. Serve.
