Make light, airy pancakes filled with fresh strawberries and topped with a simple cream cheese glaze for a decadent weekend breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for the griddle
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes.
  4. Gently fold in the sliced strawberries.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook the other side.
  7. While pancakes cook, prepare the glaze: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk until the glaze is smooth and drizzly.
  8. Stack the pancakes and drizzle generously with the cream cheese glaze before serving.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, separate the egg. Beat the egg white until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the batter last.
  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for a tangier flavor.
  • If you prefer a shortcake style, top with whipped cream instead of the cream cheese glaze.
