Ingredients
Pancakes
- 2 cups red velvet cake mix
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cup milk or water
- 1 egg
- 1 Tablespoon butter or oil for greasing the pan
Cream Cheese Syrup
- 4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined. Add the red velvet cake mix and all-purpose flour simultaneously. Beat by hand for 2-3 minutes until the batter becomes fluffy and smooth.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and allow it to warm up while preparing your batter.
- Grease the Pan and Cook Pancakes: Brush the skillet with butter or oil to prevent sticking. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet and spread slightly if too thick. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface (about 1 minute), then carefully flip and cook the other side for up to 1 minute. Maintain medium-low heat to avoid burning and keep a close eye on the pancakes.
- Finish Cooking All Pancakes: Continue to cook pancakes one by one until all the batter is used up, keeping them warm as needed.
- Make the Cream Cheese Syrup: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract by hand for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Drizzle the cream cheese syrup generously over the warm red velvet pancakes and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For a thicker syrup, reduce the milk slightly.
- You can substitute water with milk for richer pancakes.
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to prevent lumps in the syrup.
- Cooking pancakes on medium-low heat helps prevent burning and ensures even cooking.
- These pancakes make a delightful dessert when served with fresh berries or whipped cream.
