Pancake al formaggio cremoso

Ingredienti

• 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 ounces cream cheese (extra soft)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons butter (melted and cooled)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups milk

Preparazione

1. 1

   In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients- flour (3 1/3 cups), baking powder (1 tablespoon), baking soda (1 teaspoon), and salt (1/2 teaspoon).

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, with a hand mixer, cream together the cream cheese (6 ounces) and sugar (1/2 cup) until fully combined. Add the eggs (3), butter (4 tablespoons), and vanilla extract (1 tablespoon), and mix again until fully combined. Add the milk (1 1/2 cups) and mix one more time until combined.

3. 3

   Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a few dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.

4. 4

   Heat a griddle or fry pan to medium. Spray with cooking spray or use a bit of butter to grease the surface.

5. 5

   Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to pour the batter onto the griddle. The batter is thick so you can use the back of the measuring cup to help push the batter around if needed. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes. When you see air bubbles come up and pop, flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the cooked pancake to a plate and repeat until all the batter is cooked.

6. 6

   Enjoy warm.
