Ingredients

  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup crushed strawberries
  • PANCAKES:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1-1/2 cups 2% milk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
  • SAUCE:
  • 3 cups crushed strawberries
  • 1/4 cup seedless strawberry jam
  • 1/4 cup water

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth; stir in strawberries. Chill until serving.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Combine the eggs, milk, sour cream and butter. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in strawberries.
  3. 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.
  4. For sauce, in a small saucepan, combine the strawberries, jam and water; heat through. Spread cream cheese mixture over pancakes; top with sauce. (Refrigerate remaining sauce for another use.)
