Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar for cinnamon swirl
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon for cinnamon swirl
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted, for cinnamon swirl
  • 2 oz cream cheese softened, for glaze
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar for glaze
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract for glaze
  • 2 tbsp milk for glaze

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
  • Add the milk, egg, and melted butter, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter for the cinnamon swirl. Transfer to a piping bag or ziplock bag and set aside.
  • Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the griddle and immediately pipe a cinnamon swirl onto the batter.
  • Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon swirl mixture.
  • For the glaze, whisk together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
  • Drizzle the glaze over warm pancakes before serving.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Customization: Add chopped pecans or drizzle with maple syrup for extra flavor.
  • Serving Tip: Serve warm with extra cinnamon drizzle for a true cinnamon roll experience.
