A homemade version of IHOP's Winter Wonderland Pancakes. These fluffy Christmas pancakes are topped with swirled blue and white cream cheese icing, mini marshmallows, and candy snowflakes.
Beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Sift the powdered sugar over the cream cheese and beat until creamy.
Stir in the vanilla and 2 tablespoons of milk.
Remove about ⅓rd of the icing and add an additional 1-3 teaspoons of milk to that icing. This will be the white icing.
Add a few drops of blue gel coloring to the icing in the other bowl and add more milk if needed to thin it out.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
Whisk together the egg and buttermilk.
Pour into the flour mixture and stir just to combine.
Add sugar, melted butter, and vanilla, then mix until blended but with lumps remaining.
Drop a small amount of vegetable oil into a skillet or on a griddle and place over medium heat.
Once the oil begins to separate and move around the pan, use a paper towel to rub it into the pan, leaving just a light coating on the pan.
Ladle about ¼ cup of the pancake batter onto the pan.
Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges begin to set.
Gently flip your pancakes over and cook until lightly browned on both sides.
Repeat with remaining batter making about 12 pancakes.
Stack two to four warm pancakes on a plate then spread a spoonful of blue cream cheese icing over the top pancake.
Drizzle some white icing over the blue icing and swirl it together using a toothpick or skewer.
The calories listed are for 1/12th of the recipe (1 pancake and 1/12 of the icing). They do not include the marshmallows or snowflake sprinkles.
To make Disney's Frozen Pancakes, top the pancakes with a swirl of whipped cream before adding the marshmallows and snowflake sprinkles.
To keep your pancakes warm, set them on a wire rack in a warm 225-degree oven until you are ready to serve.
