Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese (for spread)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for spread)
- 1 cup hulled strawberries (for sauce)
- 2 cups strawberries, diced (for sauce)
- ½ cup sugar (for sauce)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (for sauce)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat milk, eggs, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Combine wet and dry ingredients gently.
- Preheat a griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top (about 2–3 minutes), then flip and cook until golden brown.
- For the cream cheese spread, mix together the remaining cream cheese, vanilla extract, and sugar until creamy.
- To make the strawberry sauce, combine hulled strawberries, diced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until soft and thickened (about 5–7 minutes).
- Assemble pancakes by stacking two on each plate with layers of cream cheese spread in between; drizzle warm strawberry sauce on top before serving.
