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)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade smoked salmon pancakes!
