Step-by-Step Instructions for Irresistible Red Velvet Pancakes with Cream Cheese Glaze
  1. Gather all necessary ingredients, ensuring that your buttermilk, egg, and cream cheese are at room temperature for optimal mixing.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until thoroughly blended.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until smooth.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir carefully until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and allow it to preheat for about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  7. Prepare the cream cheese glaze by beating the softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually mix in powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until pourable.
  8. Stack the fluffy pancakes on a serving plate and drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top, adding fresh fruit or nuts if desired.
