Ingredients
- 1 cup flour

- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 egg beaten

- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla

Icing
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- heavy cream or half and half, or milk

Instructions
- Slice cream cheese lengthwise into long thin pieces, wrap in plastic wrap, and freeze one hour or overnight.
- Preheat a large pan or nonstick skillet to medium heat and spray with cooking spray. In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cocoa powder and whisk together until well combined.
- In another bowl combine beaten egg, buttermilk, vanilla, red food coloring and mix until well blended. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Remove cream cheese from freezer, unwrap and cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Stir cream cheese pieces into pancake batter.
- Pour 1/4 cup batter onto prepared pan or skillet. Cook 3-4 minutes until top begins to bubble and sides start to look "dry". Carefully flip and cook about 2 minutes longer. Repeat with remaining batter.
