Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 8 ounces Smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 tablespoons Dill (fresh, chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (for greasing pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Set aside for 5 minutes to rest.
While the batter is resting, prepare the cream cheese spread by mixing the softened cream cheese with lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
To assemble, spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each pancake. Top with slices of smoked salmon, a few capers, and a sprinkle of chopped dill.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade smoked salmon pancakes!
