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

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
2. 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.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
