TIPS FOR PERFECT PANCAKES

Pancakes are a seemingly simple breakfast item. I have eaten enough lackluster pancakes in my life to know that it is harder than it looks to make a light and fluffy pancake!

Luckily there are some easy ways to make sure pancakes turn out perfect every time.

Here are a few tips that should help your pancakes taste better than ever before:

  • Do not over stir the batter. There is always an urge to just keep stirring that batter but do not give in! Over stirring the batter will lead to tough pancakes.
  • Let the batter rest after you mix it up. Surprisingly enough just a 5-minute rest can lead to better pancakes. If you have time to put the batter in the fridge for 30-45 minutes covered it will be even better!
  • Getting the batter too thick or too thin is an issue. The batter should be thin enough that the pancakes will spread so they are about 1/4 inch thick. If pancakes are too thick they may be doughy in the middle.

HOW TO MAKE APPLE CHEESECAKE PANCAKES

If you are experienced with making pancakes this recipe will be a breeze for you. Syrup isn’t necessarily needed because the cheesecake filling is more than enough to satisfy, but if you want to add it, try this Caramel Pecan Syrup!

STEP ONE: MAKE BATTER

Start off by mixing all the pancake ingredients together until just mixed. Do not over stir the batter.

Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes or more if you have time.

STEP TWO: HEAT GRIDDLE

Heat the griddle or frying pan to about 350 degrees F.

Don’t pour pancake batter on a cold griddle!

STEP THREE: MAKE PANCAKES

Once the griddle is hot pour the pancake batter onto the griddle in 1/2 cup circles. A pancake batter dispenser can help you make all your pancakes the same size.

Cook the pancakes on one side first until air bubbles start to form. When one side is done cooking and is golden brown, flip the pancake over with a spatula.

Cook the other side until it reaches the same golden brown color.

Remove pancakes from griddle when they are done cooking and set aside.

STEP FOUR: MAKE FILLING

Take a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the cream cheese and sugar. Use a mixer to combine these ingredients. Once the cream cheese and sugar are combined add in the vanilla and mix well.

STEP FIVE: LAYER

Place a pancake on a plate and then spread some of the cheesecake filling on top of the pancake. You can do this with a spatula or by adding the cheesecake filling to a piping bag and piping it on.

Place a second pancake on top of the filling and serve.

This should make enough for 4 servings.
