Instructions

  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, avoiding overmixing.
  4. Rest the Batter: Let batter rest for 5 minutes to activate baking powder.
  5. Prepare Cream Cheese Swirl: Beat cream cheese with honey/maple syrup, orange zest, cardamom, and salt until creamy.
  6. Cook the Pancakes: Spoon batter onto a hot, lightly oiled skillet and swirl in cream cheese.
  7. Flip and Finish: Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Notes

Allowing the batter to rest for 5 minutes helps create lighter, fluffier pancakes. Don’t overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes.
