Directions

  1. In medium bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and 3 tablespoons milk with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Gradually beat in 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, on low speed until topping is smooth. Cover; set aside.
  2. In large bowl, stir all pancake ingredients except powdered sugar with wire whisk until well blended.
