There are recipes that become our allies in the kitchen due to their simplicity and flavor. These pancakes with cream cheese are a clear example.

They are so easy to make that it seems like the kitchen becomes magical. Follow this step by step and see for yourself.

Ingredients:

• 95 g of sugar
• 4 eggs
• 35 g of butter
• 175g cream cheese
• 70g milk
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 40 g of 0000 flour
• 15 g cornstarch or cornstarch

Preparation:

1. Start by arranging a mold (one of those that cannot be dismantled) with parchment paper.
2. Turn on the oven and bring it to 150ºC.
3. Take a saucepan, add the milk and cream cheese. Stir until you see that they form a homogeneous whole.
4. I added the butter and continued stirring. Once it is well mixed, let it come to room temperature.
5. To this preparation, add the yolks and lemon zest. Don’t stop mixing.
6. Grab a sifter and add the flour and cornstarch. Sift over the previous preparation to avoid lumps.
7. In another bowl, beat the egg whites together with the sugar. What we are looking for is for it to form peaks, that tells us that it is ready.
8. Add this aerated mixture with enveloping movements to the large bowl.
9. Pour the dough into the mold. Then, put the mold on a tray with water. This is the famous bain-marie.
10. Bake for 80 minutes, check to make sure it doesn’t brown too much. If necessary, cover it with aluminum foil.
11. After the time has passed, I opened the oven door a crack and let it rest for 15 more minutes.
12. Take it out, let it cool outside and then unmold it.

Voilá, you already have your pancakes ready. They are perfect for that snack with friends or to close a dinner on a sweet note.

The combination of cream cheese with a touch of lemon is simply spectacular. Try it and tell me!
