CREAM CHEESE PANCAKES WITH
STRAWBERRIES AND SOUR CREAM
 
3 eggs, separated
3 tbsp. granulated sugar
2 oz. cream cheese (room temperature)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 pt. strawberries (2 c.)
1/2 c. sour cream
Confectioners sugar

Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Beat in 1 tablespoon sugar until whites are stiff and glossy.

In another bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla. Add flour and remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and beat until well blended. Batter will be very thick. Beat in 1/4 of the egg whites and then gently fold in remainder with a rubber spatula.

Using a pastry brush or paper towel, lightly oil surface of a large griddle and heat over moderate heat until a drop of water sizzles. Drop teaspoons of batter onto griddle to make silver dollar pancakes. Cook about 30 seconds, until bubbles form on surface and the underside is browned. Turn and brown other side. Repeat. Makes 48 pancakes.

Arrange on platter. Top with sour cream, then strawberries and finally a sprinkling of confectioners sugar.
