Red Velvet Pancakes


A fun take on the Southern classic cake, these red velvet pancakes are so fluffy & so yummy! They have the light chocolate flavor of the cake, right down to a cream cheese glaze. They're the perfect indulgence for a special breakfast, brunch or just about anytime!

1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, & cocoa powder.
2. Add in egg, buttermilk, butter, vanilla extract, & red food coloring.

7. When the other side is soft to the touch, it’s done!
8. Stack on a plate.
 
To Assemble:
 
1. Stack one pancake on a plate and spread on a layer of cream cheese glaze.
