Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Maple syrup, for drizzling
- Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
How to Make Layered Pancake Sandwich
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat until all batter is used.
- While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the creamy filling. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the pancakes are ready, start layering. Place one pancake on a plate, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese filling, and top with another pancake. Repeat until you have a stack of 3-4 pancakes, finishing with a pancake on top.
- Drizzle maple syrup over the top and garnish with fresh berries if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your buttermilk is at room temperature for better mixing.
- Don’t overmix the pancake batter; a few lumps are fine.
- Keep pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you cook the rest.
- Adjust the thickness of the filling by adding more powdered sugar for sweetness or a splash of milk for creaminess.
Easy Variations
- Nutty Delight: Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the pancake batter for an extra crunch.
- Fruit-Filled: Layer in sliced bananas or strawberries between the pancakes and filling.
- Chocolate Lovers: Use a chocolate cream cheese filling by adding cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture.
What to Serve With It
- A side of crispy bacon or sausage for a savory touch.
- A fresh fruit salad to balance the sweetness.
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert option.
