Ingredients

Dry

  • 1
    1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2
    2 tablespoons tablespoons of granulated sugar
  • 3
    2 teaspoons teaspoons of baking powder
  • 4
    0.5 teaspoon teaspoon of salt

Wet

  • 1
    1 cup cup of milk
  • 2
    1 each large egg
  • 3
    2 tablespoons tablespoons of melted unsalted butter
  • 4
    4 ounces ounces of cream cheese, softened

For Cooking

  • 1
    2 tablespoons tablespoons of butter or oil

For Serving

  • 1
    0 to taste maple syrup
  • 2
    0 to taste fresh fruit

Directions

1

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

2

Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter. Ensure the butter isn't too hot, as it may cook the egg.

3

Add Cream Cheese

Add the softened cream cheese to the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth. Some small lumps are okay.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix. A few lumps are okay; overmixing will lead to tough pancakes.

5

Preheat Pan

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Use about 1 tablespoon of butter or oil to grease the pan. Ensure the pan is hot enough by flicking a drop of water; it should sizzle gently and evaporate quickly. If it evaporates instantly, the pan is too hot; reduce the heat.

6

Pour Batter

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Don't overcrowd the pan.

7

Cook Pancakes

Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Flip when bubbles start to form on the top and the edges appear set.

8

Serve

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup and fresh fruit.

9

Clean Up

After cooking, allow the pan to cool before cleaning. Wash the mixing bowls and utensils with soap and warm water. Clean the griddle or pan thoroughly.

Recipe Tips

  • For best results, ensure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature before using.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as it will make the pancakes tough.
  • If you don't have a griddle, a large skillet will work fine.
  • Use a non-stick pan to make the flipping process easier.
  • You can add a dash of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients for extra flavor.
  • Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them on a griddle or in a toaster.
  • Always use caution around hot surfaces. Use oven mitts or gloves when handling the hot pan.
