Red Velvet Pancakes with Cream Cheese Glaze

Make the Pancakes
1 Measure [wprm-ingredient text="2 cups all-purpose flour" uid="1"], [wprm-ingredient text="¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder" uid="2"], [wprm-ingredient text="½ cup granulated sugar" uid="3"], [wprm-ingredient text="2 teaspoons baking powder" uid="4"], [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon baking soda" uid="5"] and [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon kosher salt" uid="6"] into a large bowl. Whisk together until incorporated.
2 Measure [wprm-ingredient text="1 ½ cups whole milk" uid="7"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 ½ tablespoons white vinegar" uid="8"], [wprm-ingredient text="2 eggs" uid="9"], [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract" uid="10"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 ½ tablespoons red food coloring" uid="11"] and [wprm-ingredient text="2 tablespoons flavorless oil" uid="12"] into a smaller bowl. Using a fork, stir together until combined. Make sure the egg yolk and white are incorporated.
3 Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will affect the texture of the pancakes. Don’t fret about lumps: they’re OK!
4 Once the batter has been mixed, heat a nonstick skillet or a griddle over medium heat. Brush the pan with melted butter or unflavored cooking spray.
5 Dollop the pancakes onto the preheated skillet when ready using a cookie scoop or a measuring cup.
6 When several bubbles have formed on the surface, flip the pancakes, and cook through. Repeat until all of the batter has been made into pancakes.
7 Stack the pancakes onto plates, and serve with the cream cheese glaze and a garnish of fresh strawberries, mint leaves or even festive sprinkles.
Make the Cream Cheese Glaze
9 In the base of your food processor or a blender, combine the softened [wprm-ingredient text="4 oz. cream cheese" uid="15"], [wprm-ingredient text="½ cup powdered sugar" uid="16"], [wprm-ingredient text="¼ cup whole milk" uid="17"] and [wprm-ingredient text="1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract" uid="18"].
10 Blend until smooth.
11 Set aside until it’s time to serve your pancakes, then drizzle this on top of them. (You can also make this ahead of time, so you can store it in a food-safe container in the refrigerator.)
