These fluffy red velvet pancakes with a tangy cream cheese drizzle offer a delicious twist on traditional breakfast pancakes, perfect for special occasions or cozy brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red gel food coloring
  • For the cream cheese drizzle:
  • 4 ounces (115g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and red gel food coloring until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and springy.
  6. While pancakes cook, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk or cream until smooth and pourable. Adjust consistency as needed.
  7. Serve pancakes warm, stacked and drizzled generously with the cream cheese mixture.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F) while finishing the batch. If batter thickens, add a splash of buttermilk to loosen. The cream cheese drizzle is best made fresh but can be refrigerated and stirred before use.
