Grinch Pancakes

Ingredients:

Cream Cheese Icing

Green Whipped Cream

Directions:

1. Make the cream cheese icing (see ingredient list below). In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
2. Make the green whipped cream (see ingredient list below). Add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a few drops of food coloring to the bowl of a stand mixer. Use the whisk attachment to beat on low speed until the ingredients start to combine. Gradually increase the speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
3. Make the pancakes. Add the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk.
5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
6. Add the sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract and green food coloring. Mix until well blended. Add drops of food coloring until the desired shade of green is reached.
7. Heat a griddle over medium heat.
8. Scoop about ¼ - ½ cup of the pancake batter onto the pan. Repeat until you don’t have room for more pancakes on the griddle. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until lightly browned. Repeat with the remaining batter.
9. Assemble the pancakes. Place a warm stack of pancakes on a plate. Spread some of the cream cheese icing over the top. Add a dollop of the whipped green and garnish with red sprinkles. Serve immediately and enjoy!
