Ingredients:

• 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
• 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 egg

Steps:

1. For the lemon cream cheese topping, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon peel, and lemon juice in small bowl on medium speed until well combined and fluffy.
2. For pancakes, heat griddle or skillet to medium high heat, and grease with cooking spray, veg oil, or shortening.
3. Beat egg with whisk in medium bowl until fluffy. Beat remaining ingredients until just smooth.
4. Pour batter by scant 1/4 cup-fulls onto heated skillet or griddle. Cook about 1 1/2 minutes until bubbles form. Turn and cook other side until golden brown.
