4 Make the glaze: In a bowl, mix together cream cheese and maple syrup until smooth. Set aside.

6 Ladle 1/2 cup batter into the hot pan. Wait until bubbles form. Once most of the bubbles have dissipated, use a spatula to gently flip the pancake. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes more until pancake is golden brown.
