Red Velvet Pancake Puppies

These red velvet pancake puppies have white chocolate chips on the inside.

You can dip these warm red velvet treats into a sweet creamy cream cheese frosting.

These little pancake treats would make a great addition for a party or a large gathering and can be made in a jiffy.

They are easy to make and are inexpensive.

The few steps to complete the recipe are basic.

Mixing up a rich batter that starts with a cake mix is easy enough to do.

Frying the dough balls and letting them drain on a paper towel is the last step for the Red Velvet Pancake Puppies.

Make the cream cheese icing. Add powder sugar on the dough balls and dip!

Serve with syrup for those not partial to cream cheese.

What ever the preference, these pancake puppies deliver.

These are the INGREDIENTS You will need:

  • 1 box Duncan Hines cake batter 18 ounce size
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 4 cups of oil to fry
  • 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
  • 8 ounces cream cheese – at room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:

Preheat oil to 350 degrees.

In a medium sized bowl combine cake batter mix, water and 3 eggs. Use a blender to mix until the batter has no lumps.

Add the chips to the batter. Scoop the batter drop into hot oil and fry.

Remove pancake puppy onto a plate lined with paper towels.

Make cream cheese dipping sauce by combining cream cheese and butter in a medium sized bowl.

Beat together cream cheese and butter until they are light and fluffy. Add approximately 1/2 cup powdered sugar, into butter and cream cheese.

Once the first portion of cream cheese has been incorporated add the next portion, and then the remaining powdered sugar.

Add vanilla, lemon extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Blend in flavorings and milk.

Place dipping sauce into a small bowl and serve with red velvet puppies.

The kiddos can even help!

All they need is supervision as they fry, and then help adding the completed puppies to the warm oven.

Imagine a handful of kids at a sleep over sitting at the table and dipping these pancake puppies in the cream cheese sauce.

They make a delicious appetizer too.

Kids and adults alike will consume these Red Velvet Pancake puppies.

You will too!

Ingredients

  • 1 box Duncan Hines cake batter, 18 ounce
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 4 cups of oil to fry
  • 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
  • 8 ounces cream cheese – at room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oil to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium sized bowl combine cake batter mix, water and 3 eggs. Use a blender to mix until the batter has no lumps. Add 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips and mix in with a spoon.
  • Use a 1 ounce cookie scoop to drop batter into hot oil. Fry on one side for approximately 1 minute and then flip over and fry on other side for about a minute. Remove pancake puppy onto a plate lined with paper towels.
  • This grease will not be usable for anything but making these red velvet puppies, the oil will turn red. So be sure to make something else first and finish up with these.
  • Make cream cheese dipping sauce by combining cream cheese and butter in a medium sized bowl. Beat together cream cheese and butter until they are light and fluffy.
  • Add approximately 1/2 cup powdered sugar, into butter and cream cheese. Once the first portion of cream cheese has been incorporated add the next portion, and then the remaining powdered sugar.
  • Add vanilla, lemon extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Blend in flavorings and milk.
  • Place dipping sauce into a small bowl and serve with red velvet puppies.

Notes

Do not use the oil for frying for anything else, so be sure to use the oil only for these, or the next thing you try to cook in the oil will turn red.
