Equipment

Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Begin by preparing the strawberry sauce. Hull and quarter 250g strawberries, then place them in a small saucepan with 60g sugar and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once simmering, reduce heat to low and cook for 8-10 minutes until strawberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat, stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract, and set aside to cool. The natural pectin in strawberries will help the sauce thicken as it cools.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>For the cream cheese swirl, beat 125g softened cream cheese with 2 tbsp powdered sugar until completely smooth and creamy. Transfer to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. The cream cheese needs to be very soft to pipe easily, so ensure it's been at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>In a large bowl, whisk together 200g flour, 3 tbsp sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, and ¼ tsp salt until well combined. These dry ingredients need to be thoroughly mixed to ensure even rising throughout your pancakes.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>In a separate bowl, whisk together 240ml buttermilk, 2 eggs, 50g melted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. The acidity in the buttermilk will react with the baking soda, creating carbon dioxide bubbles that make your pancakes exceptionally fluffy.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined - a few small lumps are fine. Overmixing develops gluten, which can make pancakes tough rather than tender. Fold in 100g of the diced strawberries, saving the rest for topping.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. When hot, lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour about 60ml (¼ cup) of batter for each pancake. Immediately pipe small dollops of the cream cheese mixture onto the pancake batter in a spiral pattern. Using a toothpick or skewer, gently swirl the cream cheese into the batter to create a marbled effect.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. The bubbles are your visual cue that the pancake is nearly cooked through. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. The cream cheese swirls will create beautiful patterns as they cook.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven (110°C) while you cook the remaining batter. This ensures all your pancakes will be served warm, even the first ones you made.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 9</h4>To serve, stack 3 pancakes per plate. Top with the strawberry sauce, remaining fresh diced strawberries, and an extra dollop of cream cheese if desired. For an extra special touch, dust lightly with powdered sugar. The contrast between the warm pancakes, cool cream cheese, and sweet-tart strawberry sauce creates a truly spectacular breakfast experience.</li></ol>

FAQs

What ingredients are used in Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes?

Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes require all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, buttermilk, eggs, butter, vanilla extract, fresh strawberries, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. For the strawberry sauce, you'll need additional strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla.

How to cook Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes at home?

Learn how to cook Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes by first preparing a strawberry sauce and cream cheese swirl. Mix dry and wet pancake ingredients separately, then combine and fold in diced strawberries. Pour batter onto a hot griddle, pipe cream cheese in spirals, swirl with a toothpick, and cook until bubbles form. Flip, cook until golden, and serve with strawberry sauce.

What's the secret to achieving perfect cream cheese swirls in pancakes?

The key is ensuring your cream cheese is very soft and completely smooth before piping. Beat it thoroughly with powdered sugar, then transfer to a piping bag. Pipe small dollops onto the wet pancake batter immediately after pouring it onto the griddle, then quickly swirl with a toothpick for that perfect marbled effect.

Can I make the strawberry sauce ahead of time for breakfast pancakes?

Yes, the strawberry sauce can be made up to three days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This time-saving step allows the sauce to develop even deeper flavours. Simply warm it slightly before serving over your freshly made pancakes for a quick yet impressive breakfast.

How can I tell when it's the right time to flip my pancakes?

The perfect moment to flip pancakes is when bubbles form across the surface and begin to pop, and the edges start to look set and slightly dry. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes on medium heat. Flip too early and you'll have a messy turn; too late and they might burn.
