Move over red velvet cake, its breakfast time with Red Velvet Pancakes made with Bisquick®! But wait, they wouldn’t be complete without a wonderful rich and creamy cream cheese topping—yum!

Ingredients

Cream Cheese Topping

4

oz (half of 8-oz package) cream cheese, softened
1/4

cup butter, softened
3

tablespoons milk
2

cups powdered sugar

Pancakes

2

cups Original Bisquick™ mix
1

tablespoon granulated sugar
1

tablespoon unsweetened baking cocoa
1

cup milk
1

to 1 1/2 teaspoons red paste food color*
2

eggs
Powdered sugar, if desired

Steps

1

In medium bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and 3 tablespoons milk with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Gradually beat in 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, on low speed until topping is smooth. Cover; set aside.
2

In large bowl, stir all pancake ingredients except powdered sugar with wire whisk until well blended. Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat (375°F). (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.) Brush with vegetable oil if necessary or spray with cooking spray before heating.
3

For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbles form on top and edges are dry. Turn; cook other side until golden brown.
4

Spoon cream cheese topping into resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut off tiny corner of bag; squeeze bag to drizzle topping over pancakes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
