I made red velvet pancakes and so can you



Red velvet pancakes - a dream I dared to dream. I actually don't even think this entry needs any backstory because red velvet pancakes speak for themselves.

Here's how you too can make your red velvet pancake dreams come true.

Ingredients

- 1.5 cups red velvet cake mix
- .5 cup Bisquick
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk (I used skim plus to offset some of the calorie load)

Directions

- Mix ingredients in bowl with electric mixer.
- Pour small portions into skillet. This part is important. Because of the cake mix, the pancakes don't hold together quite as well as normal and if you make them bigger than about 4-5", they will be a bear to flip (learned this the hard way). 
- Also important - cook them a little longer than you might normally. I like really light pancakes generally but these need a little longer to cook.

When they were done, I frosted them with one of the whipped versions of a cheesecake frosting, because regular would be too heavy.

After that all you need is an insulin shot and you're good to go... They are pretty sweet so you'll be happy you had smaller ones.

Enjoy!
