Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups whole milk
- 1 cup full fat cream cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Add-ins
- 1 3/4 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare wet mixture: In a medium bowl, mix together the whole milk, cream cheese, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, white sugar, baking powder, and sea salt until evenly mixed.
- Make the batter: Stir the wet milk mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix well until combined; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy. Add a little extra milk if the batter is too thick.
- Add blueberries and rest: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to thicken and allow the flavors to meld.
- Heat skillet: Warm a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Optionally, add a bit of butter to grease the pan for cooking.
- Cook pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet to form each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface, then carefully flip with a spatula and cook the other side for about one minute or until golden brown.
- Repeat and serve: Continue cooking remaining batter in the same way. Serve the pancakes topped with additional fresh blueberries and syrup as desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and whole milk as specified.
- Lemon juice is optional but adds a pleasant brightness to the cheesecake flavor.
- Resting the batter before cooking helps create fluffier pancakes.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Cook pancakes on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring they cook through.
- You can substitute fresh blueberries with frozen ones; do not thaw beforehand to avoid bleeding.
