• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• to taste whipped cream for topping
• to taste additional strawberries for garnish if desired

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
4. Preheat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a little melted butter.
5. In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth. Set aside.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then spread a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on top of the pancake.
7. Add a few strawberry slices on top of the cream cheese mixture, then pour another 1/4 cup of pancake batter over it, covering the berries and filling.
8. Flip the pancake carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
9. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and cream cheese filling.
10. To serve, stack the pancakes on a plate and add a dollop of whipped cream and more fresh strawberries on top.
