  2. In a mixing bowl, blend 8 ounces of block-style cream cheese, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix 1 cup of buttermilk, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in another bowl. Stir wet mixture into dry ingredients carefully.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat, lightly grease it, and pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake, cooking until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
