While *I’m* not a fan of cream cheese – my cheese lovin’ son IS. And since breakfast is also his fave meal of the day, I made up some pancakes filled with sweetened cream cheese. The touch of lemon zest adds just a little kick of freshness. The perfect send off for the first week of school.
ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg
2 Tablespoons cream cheese
1 Tablespoon softened butter
1-1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup cream cheese
2 Tablespoon powdered sugar
1 Tablespoons lemon zest
In a small bowl stir together the cream cheese, powdered sugar and lemon zest. Set aside.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the egg, butter, milk and vanilla until just combined.
Set your pan to medium high and add touch of butter. Watch the heat, you know how *I* am about my pancakes!
Ladle out the pancake batter. Add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture into the center of the pancake…
then top with more batter.
Once the bubbles start to pop, carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side.
You can top these with syrup or strawberries, and you’ll be please to find a creamy center to brighten your morning!
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.
Your Cream Cheese go would be divine in Texas Toast sized stuffed French Toast with bananas and berries.
Just be sure to let me know when they’re ready! LOL
Now I want pancakes. Really, really badly. But if I make them now I’ll be late for work. Will probably be dreaming about them all day…brinner anyone?
I was looking for a Mochi cake recipe & come to your site. Boy, am I glad to find you! Now that the family moved to the other side of the globe, sometimes it’s difficult to find all the ingredients that were so readily available in the States.
It’s good to see you have some Asian & American food here.
I may be your biggest fan now!!
I saw your cream cheese pancakes, and I saw your nutella pancakes… so hard to decide, so I thought, why not both? so that’s what I had for dinner! good thing you’re here to tell us about these things because I never would have come up with it on my own!
