Instructions

    3. Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
    4. Strain batter if needed for extra smoothness.

    Prepare Cream Cheese Filling

    1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease.
    2. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into pan and swirl into a thin circle.
    3. Cook for 1 minute until edges lift. Flip and cook 20–30 seconds more.
