Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 5 teaspoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ teaspoons white sugar

  • 2 teaspoons butter, melted - divided

  • confectioners' sugar for dusting

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • ½ lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Blend in the eggs.

  2. Stir in the flour, sugar, and 1 teaspoon of melted butter to make a batter.

  3. Heat remaining 1 teaspoon of butter on a griddle or in a heavy frying pan over medium heat.

  4. Drop the batter onto the griddle in silver dollar-sized dollops; cook until lightly golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn the pancakes over and cook an additional 2 minutes.

Cook's Note

I gleaned this recipe about two decades ago from a newspaper column in which a reader had requested a restaurant to supply the recipe. The restaurant, the name of which I cannot recall, generously complied.
