Ingredients
Red Velvet Pancakes:
-
1 package red velvet cake mix, any brand
-
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 3/4 cups milk
-
2 eggs
-
4 tablespoons butter, melted, then cooled slightly
-
Non-stick cooking spray, or butter, for greasing the griddle
Cream Cheese Icing:
-
4 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
-
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
-
2 tablespoons milk
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
First, heat a large cast iron griddle (a non-stick pan also works) on high heat.
-
Next, preheat your oven to 200 F. (This will allow you to keep your pancakes warm while you make the rest of the batches on the stove.)
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix and the flour until they are combined.
-
In a medium-sized bowl, add the milk. Then whisk in the eggs and melted butter, making sure the butter has cooled slightly so it won't scramble the eggs.
-
Gently and gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, and combine with a whisk until the batter is completely moistened and there are only a few small lumps. Be careful not to over-mix as this will make the pancakes tough instead of fluffy.
-
Turn the griddle's heat down to low. Spray with non-stick spray or grease with butter.
-
Using a ladle or large spoon, spoon about 1/4 cups of batter onto the griddle to create the pancakes.
-
Cook for a few minutes on each side, until fluffy and spongey. Be careful that your heat is not too high. These pancakes can burn easily due to their sugar content.
-
Keep the pancakes warm in a 200 F oven while you whip together the cream cheese icing.
-
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Beat with a hand mixer for about 2 minutes, or until completely combined.
-
Drizzle the icing over the pancakes and serve with fruit, bacon, or eggs.
