Combine the cream cheese topping ingredients, then set aside.

In another bowl, dissolve the food coloring with the milk, then whisk in the egg and vanilla.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients until there are no more dry spots. Do not over mix.
Heat a large non-stick griddle pan on medium-low heat. When hot, lightly spray with oil to coat and pour ¼ cup of the pancake batter onto the pan.
When the pancake starts to bubble and the edges begin to set, flip the pancakes. Repeat with the remainder of the batter.
To serve, place two pancakes on each plate, then top with about 2½ tablespoon of the cream cheese topping.
