Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk (for the drizzle)
• Optional: crushed nuts or sprinkles for topping

How to Make Fluffy Pancake Stack with Creamy Drizzle

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay!
4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from heat and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
7. For the cream cheese drizzle, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a bowl. Gradually add in 2-3 tablespoons of milk until you reach your desired consistency.
8. Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle generously with the cream cheese mixture. Top with crushed nuts or sprinkles if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
• Don’t overmix the batter; this keeps the pancakes fluffy.
• Adjust the heat as needed to ensure even cooking without burning.
• Let the pancakes rest for a minute before flipping for extra fluffiness.

Easy Variations

• Add blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter for a fruity or indulgent twist.
• Swap out some of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
• Experiment with flavored extracts, like almond or maple, for a unique taste.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas for a refreshing side.
• A side of crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
• A dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
