Here’s a foolproof recipe for you:
🥞 Cream Cheese Pancakes
Ingredients (Serves 2–3, makes ~8 pancakes)
-
4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
-
2 large eggs
-
½ cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
-
½ cup (120 ml) milk (or buttermilk for a tangier flavor)
-
1 tbsp sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
Pinch of salt
-
Butter or oil for cooking
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the batter
-
In a bowl (or blender), beat together cream cheese and eggs until smooth.
-
Add flour, milk, sugar, vanilla, baking powder, and salt.
-
Mix until you have a smooth, thick batter (a few small lumps are fine).
-
Tip: A blender makes the batter super silky.
-
2. Cook the pancakes
-
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
-
Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake.
-
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (2–3 minutes).
-
Flip gently and cook another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown.
3. Serve
-
Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
-
Optional: Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey butter for an extra treat.
💡 Tips
-
For extra fluffiness, separate the eggs — beat the whites until stiff peaks form and fold them in last.
-
Add-ins: Blueberries, chocolate chips, or lemon zest pair beautifully with the cream cheese flavor.
-
Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze for 1 month; reheat in a toaster or pan.
