This morning, I woke up at 5:30AM. And when I wake up, there is no power on this earth that can put me back to sleep.
Of course, I have my first class at 1PM, so it’s not like I want to go all the way to UBC just to wait around, especially since it was cold and raining. So what do I do instead?
Make pancakes of course!
And since I love putting cream cheese in everything, I would feel like I was discriminating if I didn’t put any into pancakes.
If you like cream cheese, then hang on to your hats. This will blow you away. They were melt-in-your-mouth pancakes, but every now and then there would be a lovely chunk of cream cheese to surprise you on random bites.
If you don’t like those little surprises (which my brother found alarming but not all too unpleasant) I would try melting the cream cheese. Otherwise, go nuts!
Cream Cheese Pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 3 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 Tbsp salted butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the egg, milk, cream cheese, butter and vanilla extract. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking
spray. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, and flip when bubbles are covering the surface of the pancake. Cook the other side
until it is golden.
Interesting recipe, not tried it before but I bet it gives a nice moistness and tang.
