Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/4 cups milk
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- Red food coloring
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl, break the eggs, and beat them with a whisk until they're light lemon yellow, and fluffy.
- Add sugar to the eggs and whisk until light and fluffy.
- Next, add milk and oil, whisk until eggs, sugar, oil, and milk are completely incorporated.
- Add the Flour and baking powder, and whisk together until the ingredients are mixed. (Batter may be a little lumpy, but that's okay)
- Then add cocoa powder and red food coloring, stir the batter until the cocoa powder and red food coloring is evenly mixed. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Let's make the cheesecake swirl while the batter is resting for 5 minutes. In a bowl mix cream cheese, vanilla, milk, and powdered sugar.
- Spoon cream cheese mixture into a piping bag, set aside.
- Heat an electric griddle or skillet until butter melts and sizzles. With the heat on a medium setting, drop the batter for the pancakes with either a ladle, or a half cup measuring scoop.
- Swirl the cream cheese onto one side of each pancake and cook until the edges form and they are ready to flip.
- Flip the pancakes with a pancake turner, and remove to a plate to serve, and top with extra cream cheese swirl or syrup.
