Red Velvet Pancakes, Buttercream Syrup, Oh My!




I've been dying to have a dessert style breakfast and this week, during my morning off, I whipped these babies up. I used a formal recipe for the red velvet pancakes, but the buttercream syrup was most certainly a last minute thought. 






Red Velvet Pancakes:
There are a million ways to make red velvet pancakes, some companies make a pre-made mix, but you can also do it from scratch. I prefer to use brown sugar and soy milk, they both seem to lighten the batter a bit.

2 cups of pancake mix
3 tbsp. of brown sugar
1 tbsp. of unsweetened baking cocoa
1 1/2 tsp of red paste food coloring
2 eggs
1 cup of soy milk



Buttercream Syrup:
This was a crazy last minute idea. I had a ton of leftover icing from making red velvet cupcakes, in the fridge. I whipped this concoction up and it turned out to be an amazing topping. Use a whisk to smooth it out.

3/4 cup of buttercream frosting
1/2 cup of soy milk

Enjoy! If you try these, I'd love to see how they turn out! Shoot me an email at erica@rivaflowz.com! I'll show your version here.
