Red Velvet Pancakes with Cream Cheese Syrup

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Red Velvet cake mix (about 1/2 of an 18.25 oz box)  
• 2 large eggs, separated
• 2 Tbsp oil
• 1/4 cup + 1 tsp water
• butter, optional for frying or topping

     TIP: Can use a chocolate cake mix with red food dye added (reduce the water amount by the amount of food dye)


Directions:

• Combine the cake mix, egg yolks, oil and water in a mixing bowl until just thoroughly blended
• Beat egg whites until they form soft peaks.
• Blend egg whites into cake mixture.
• If batter seems too thick, add another tablespoon of water. 
• Cook the pancakes in a non-stick pan over medium heat. 

     TIP: Cook these a little slower than regular pancakes so they don't brown too much.

Cream Cheese syrup*:

¼ cup of honey

1 heaping Tablespoon Cream cheese

• Warm honey in microwave until warmed, about 30 seconds then stir in cream cheese until smooth.
• Whisk, whisk, and whisk until smooth. Add more honey if you like the syrup runny(<--is that a word?)

*Alternate toppings/extras:

•  Can also just sift powdered sugar on top for a wintry snowflakey look!
•  Love Reese's cups? Use peanut butter instead of cream cheese in the syrup
•  Brandied fruits
•  Pecans on top of cream cheese syrup for crunch!

Enjoy!
