Prep: 20 min | Yield: 14 servings
Ingredients
Cream Cheese Topping
- 4 ounces (half of 8 ounce package) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Pancakes
- 2 cups Original Bisquick™ mix
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened baking cocoa
- 1 cup milk
- 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons red paste food color*
- 2 eggs
- Powdered sugar, if desired
Instructions
- In medium bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and 3 tablespoons milk with electric mixer on low speed until smooth.
- Gradually beat in 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, on low speed until topping is smooth. Cover; set aside.
- In large bowl, stir all pancake ingredients except powdered sugar with wire whisk until well blended.
- Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat (375 degrees F). (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.) Brush with vegetable oil, if necessary, or spray with cooking spray
before heating.
- For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbles form on top and edges are dry. Turn; cook other side until golden brown.
- Spoon cream cheese topping into resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut off tiny corner of bag; squeeze bag to drizzle topping over pancakes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
