Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tbsp sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup buttermilk

1 large egg

2 tbsp melted butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional for tang)

For the Strawberry Sauce:

1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

2 tbsp sugar

1 tbsp lemon juice

For Serving:

Additional strawberries, sliced

Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the diced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. If using Greek yogurt, mix it in for added tanginess. Set aside.

      Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

        Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet. Cook for about 2–3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully place a dollop of the cheesecake filling in the center of each pancake, then cover it with an additional pancake (about 1/4 cup of batter). Flip carefully and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the rest of the batter.

          Assemble and Serve: Stack two pancakes on a plate, and top with the warm strawberry sauce. Garnish with additional sliced strawberries and whipped cream if desired. Enjoy your decadent strawberry cheesecake pancakes!
