Ingredients

2 cups All-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Baking powder
1 teaspoon Baking soda
2 tablespoons Sugar
2 Egg
1 1/4 cup Milk
2 tablespoons Unsalted butter melted
green food coloring
non-stick cooking spray or butter for pan

Topping (cream cheese icing and Santa hat)

4 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
whipped cream
strawberries
red spinkles

Instructions

Shift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. In a separate bowl beat egg then add milk and melted butter.
Now mix together wet and dry ingredients. Then add a few drops of green food dye. Start small and add more to get desired color.
Heat a frying pan with a small amount of butter or non-stick cooking spray. When your pan is heated pour a small amount of batter, about ¼ cup.
When you see bubbles forming on your pancake it's ready to be flipped! Cook each side until fully cooked. Repeat with all dough until pancakes are cooked.

Topping:

For your topping beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth. Add more cream as needed for desired consistency.
Top pancakes with cream cheese icing. Slice the tops off of your strawberries and place them on top of your pancake. Add whipped cream around the bottom and top to give the look of a Santa hat. Add red sprinkles as desired.

Notes

Tip: I typically use a medium heat. Too hot will burn your butter or spray causing the pancakes to have a more burned look to them.
