How do you Make Red Velvet Pancakes from Scratch

1. Preheat a skillet or griddle to medium heat.

2. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Set aside

3. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, eggs, oil, vinegar, and red food coloring.

4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

5. Scoop ¼ cup of the pancake batter and pour it on the greased skillet. Cook until the pancake begins to bubble (2 to 3 minutes), then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

6. Continue until all the batter has been used.

7. Prepare the cream cheese icing by whisking together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and 3 tablespoons of milk. Add more milk, if needed, to thin the glaze.

Drizzle the glaze over the top of the pancakes before serving.
