Instructions: The flour, salt, milk, eggs, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter should all be mixed together in a blender. Use a blender to make the batter smooth. Take a twenty-minute break. Make the cream cheese filling while the batter rests. Softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract should all be mixed together in a bowl. Mix everything together well. Put away. Put 1 cup of buttermilk, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in a saucepan. This will make the buttermilk syrup. Bring to a boil while stirring all the time. Take it off the heat when it starts to boil and add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stay warm.
