skillet or griddle Skillet or Griddle
microwave Microwave
1

Pancakes: Whisk together flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl.

2

Whisk together eggs, buttermilk, red food color and vanilla in medium bowl. Whisk in melted butter. Pour buttermilk mixture over flour mixture. Stir until just combined (do not overmix; a few lumps are OK). Let rest for 10 minutes.

3

Heat large skillet or griddle over medium heat; brush with 1 tsp oil. Reduce heat to medium-low once pan and oil are hot.

4

Scoop scant 1/2 cup batter per pancake into hot pan, working in batches. Sprinkle each pancake with 1 tbsp cream cheese chips. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbles start to form on surface. Flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Wipe skillet clean with paper towel and brush with more oil as needed.

Tip

For smaller pancakes, use 1/4 cup batter.

Glaze: Heat cream cheese chips, butter and milk in medium microwave-safe bowl in microwave on HIGH for 30 to 60 seconds or until smooth and melted. Whisk in powdered sugar until blended and smooth.

6

Serve pancakes with drizzle of glaze and sprinkle of raspberries.

Tip

Keep pancakes warm on wire rack set over baking sheet in preheated 200°F oven so they don’t get soggy.
