These flapjacks are so pretty, it’s tempting to just gaze at them. But as good as they are to look at, they’re even better to eat! —Donna Cline, Pensacola, Florida

Blueberry Cheesecake Flapjacks Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Cook: 5 min./batch

Yield: 4 Servings

30 5 35

Ingredients

1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup whipped topping
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1-1/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
3/4 cup maple syrup, warmed
Additional blueberries, optional

Directions

For topping, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese and whipped topping until smooth. Chill until serving.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cracker crumbs, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Combine the eggs, buttermilk and butter; add to dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in blueberries.
Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a greased hot griddle; turn when bubbles form on top. Cook until the second side is golden brown. Spread topping over pancakes. Top with warm syrup; sprinkle with additional blueberries if desired. Yield: 12 pancakes (3/4 cup topping).

Editor’s Note: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the pancake batter. Be sure to thaw any berries used in the optional garnish.

Blender Makes Smooth Pancake Batter

For perfect, lump-free pancakes or waffles with a minimum of mess, I mix all ingredients in my blender, then pour batter straight onto the waffle iron or griddle. —Ginger R., Boise, Idaho
