Ingredients

  • 2 cups of Organic Unbleached White Khorasan Flour
  • 1 tablespoon of Organic Golden Cane Sugar
  • 3/4 cup low-sugar strawberry preserves
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups lowfat buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 170 grams cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons butter Confectioners’ sugar for garnish

Preparation

  1. In medium bowl, microwave preserves on high 1 minute or until melted. Stir in strawberries; set aside. In large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt.
  2. In another large bowl, with mixer on low speed, beat buttermilk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla and zest until combined. With hands, add cream cheese in chunks. Beat until cream cheese is well distributed but still slightly lumpy. Add buttermilk mixture to bowl with dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined (small lumps are OK).
  3. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter on medium. When pan is hot and foam from butter subsides, add batter by heaping quarter-cupfuls. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbles begin to appear and edges are set. Turn and cook another 2 minutes or until bottom is golden brown. If desired, transfer cooked pancakes to baking sheet in 225°F oven to keep warm. Cook remaining batter in batches, adding more butter as needed. Serve pancakes topped with strawberry mixture and dusting of confectioners’ sugar.
