Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl by mixing brown sugar and cinnamon, then combine with softened butter to form a paste.
  • Make the Pancake Batter by whisking flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in one bowl, and milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla in another.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients gently until just mixed, leaving some lumps.
  • Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease lightly.
  • Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet and pipe the cinnamon swirl in a spiral on top.
  • Cook until bubbles form, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
  • Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze by whisking cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Serve pancakes stacked with a drizzle of cream cheese glaze and optional toppings.
