Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk (for the drizzle)
• Butter or oil for cooking

How to Make Fluffy Pancake Stack with Creamy Drizzle

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In another bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
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. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
6. While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the cream cheese drizzle. In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Mix until smooth and creamy.
7. Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with the cream cheese mixture, and serve warm.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your baking powder is fresh for optimal fluffiness.
• Do not overmix the batter; this can lead to dense pancakes.
• Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.
• Adjust the amount of milk in the drizzle to achieve your desired consistency.

Easy Variations

• Add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for extra flavor.
• Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.
• Top with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or maple syrup for added sweetness.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh berries or banana slices for a fruity contrast.
• A side of crispy bacon or sausage for a savory addition.
• A dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
