Description

Fluffy lemon blueberry pancakes paired with a creamy lemon-flavored whipped topping, perfect for a bright and refreshing breakfast that serves 12.


Ingredients

Pancakes

  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 Tablespoons instant lemon pudding mix
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 pint blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Whipped Topping

  • 4 oz. cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons instant lemon pudding mix
  • 1 (8 oz.) carton Cool Whip (thawed)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Whipped Topping: Cream together the room temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, and instant lemon pudding mix until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, instant lemon pudding mix, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, vegetable oil, egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Whisk until the batter is smooth and nearly lump-free.
  3. Cook the Pancakes: Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and grease generously with shortening or oil. Pour the batter onto the hot griddle to form pancakes. Sprinkle 10-12 blueberries onto each pancake immediately. When bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, check the bottom for a golden brown color. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.
  4. Serve: Stack pancakes and top with the chilled lemon whipped topping. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze with waxed/parchment paper between pancakes to prevent sticking.

Notes

  • Frozen blueberries can be used without thawing.
  • Use a non-stick griddle or skillet for easier flipping and cooking.
  • To freeze pancakes, separate with waxed or parchment paper to avoid clumping.
  • Reheat pancakes in a toaster or microwave before serving.
  • The whipped topping can be prepared a day in advance for convenience.
