CREAM CHEESE FILLED PANCAKES

Category: Pancakes

1 8-ounce package package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
Pancakes (see recipe below)
Powdered sugar
Fresh blueberries, raspberries or blackberries, and/or sliced strawberries


For filling: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.

Add whipping cream and vanilla. Beat mixture on low speed until combined. Stir in the powdered sugar.

To serve, spoon 2 tablespoons of filling onto each thin pancake; roll up. Place 2 of the stuffed pancakes on each of 6 plates. Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar. Top with fresh berries. Makes 6 servings.

Pancakes: In medium mixing bowl, combine 2 beaten eggs, 1-1/4 cups milk, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sifted powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Beat the mixture with a rotary beater or an electric mixer until smooth. Heat a lightly greased 6-inch skillet over medium heat; remove the skillet from heat. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the batter into the skillet. Lift and tilt the skillet to spread the batter evenly. Return the skillet to heat and brown the pancake on one side only. Invert the skillet over a paper towel and remove the thin pancake. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet occasionally as needed. Makes 12 thin pancakes.
