Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, cut in half
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened (divided)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium-low heat until the strawberries break down, about 12-15 minutes. Mash if desired and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat 4 ounces of cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time. Beat in buttermilk, melted butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the flour mixture gently, then cube the remaining cream cheese and fold into the batter. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Preheat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form, about 2-3 minutes, flip, and cook until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve pancakes stacked, layered with whipped cream and strawberry sauce.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing. Don’t overmix the batter for fluffier pancakes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
