Well I have just the creative thing for you to get your special someone! This is not the typical Valentine’s Day present it’s a little bit on the different side. Red Velvet Pancakes topped with rich and creamy cream cheese topping. This is the perfect breakfast in bed meal! It only takes 29 minutes to cook and prepare and serves up to 14 servings. To make the red velvet pancakes you will need: softened cream cheese, softened butter, milk and powdered sugar. That is just for the cream cheese topping. Then for the pancakes you will need: Original Bisquick mix, granulated sugar, unsweetened baking soda, milk, red paste food coloring, eggs, and powdered sugar if desired. Now how to make them:

 

Step 1: In a medium bowl, beat 4 ounces of cream cheese with ¼ cup of butter, and 3 tablespoons of milk with an electric mixer on a low speed until completely mixed. 

Step 2: Then gradually beat in 2 cups of granulated sugar on low speed until all mixed smoothly. 

Step 3: Cover and set aside

Step 4: Now in a large bowl you are going to mix all the pancake ingredients together except the powdered sugar. Mix 2 cups of Bisquick mix, 1 tablespoon of unsweetened baking soda, 1 cup of milk, 1 to 1 ½ teaspoons of the red food coloring and the 2 eggs.

Step 5: Now heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Then for each pancake pour slightly less than ¼ cup of mix onto the griddle or skillet. Cook the pancakes for 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbling around the outside. Then turn and cook other side.

Step 6: Next spoon the cream cheese into a Ziploc bag, cut off a corner and drizzle the topping over the pancakes and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
