Common Questions About Making Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes

What are strawberry cheesecake pancakes?

Strawberry cheesecake pancakes are buttermilk pancakes with chunks of strawberries and cream cheese cooked right into the pancakes.  They are then topped with a homemade strawberry sauce.

What is the best way to cook pancakes?

I think that the best way to cook pancakes is either on a buttered cast iron skillet or a skillet.  The butter helps create those crisp golden rings that make the pancakes extra tasty.

Do I have to make strawberry syrup?

Of course not! You can always buy strawberry syrup from the store or even just top the pancakes with a bit of strawberry jam.

What should I do if my pancake batter is too thin?

I suggest adding a little bit of flour.  Add it slowly so that you don’t add too much.

What should I do if my pancake batter is too thick?

Add a bit of milk but do so very slowly so that you don’t add too much.

Tips on strawberry cheesecake recipe

• This recipe only makes 9 pancakes so if you are making this recipe for more than 2-3 people, double it!
• The strawberry syrup is optional but oh so delicious.  It really takes the pancakes to a whole new level but if you have premade strawberry syrup, that also works.
• If you don’t want to deal with placing little bits of cream cheese in each pancake, you can just pop all of those ingredients in the blender and blend until well combined.  Then the cream cheese will be right in the batter.

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup strawberries, diced

Strawberry Syrup

• 1/2 cup strawberries, diced
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, buttermilk, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and egg.  Mix until well combined.
2. Cut cream cheese into small pieces, mine were about 1/4" cubes.
3. Lightly spread butter over either a griddle or a pan over medium heat.  Pour 1/4 cup of batter and spread evenly into a circle.  Place a few pieces of cream cheese into the pancake and a few pieces of diced strawberries.  Cook until the edge of the pancake starts to brown and bubbles start to form.  Flip and cook until the bottom browns.  Repeat with remaining batter.  To get golden rings on pancakes, put a bit of butter on the griddle before pouring each pancake.
