Method

1. 1

   Melt half the butter in a pan over medium heat and sauté the leeks until softened and slightly caramelised, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, eggs, and milk until a smooth batter forms.

3. 3

   Fold the cooked leeks, cream cheese, and chopped chives into the batter until just combined (it is okay if there are small lumps of cream cheese).

4. 4

   Heat the remaining butter in the frying pan over medium heat.

5. 5

   Spoon small ladles of batter into the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

6. 6

   Serve immediately while warm.
