Servings: 12 pancakes

Ingredients

for the cinnamon swirl:

  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

for the cream cheese glaze:

  • 4 tablespoons butter melted and cooled
  • 2 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar

for the pancakes:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon oil

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, until combined. Pour into a small squeeze bottle or piping bag and set aside.
  • To make the cream cheese glaze, whisk together the butter and cream cheese until combined. Add the powdered sugar and whisk to form a glaze. Add milk if needed to thin to drizzling consistency.
  • Preheat a griddle over medium-low heat. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the milk, egg, oil, or vanilla. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Scoop the pancake batter by 1/4 cup scoops onto the prepared griddle. Let cook until starting to bubble. Shake the brown sugar mixture well, then pipe in a swirl pattern on top of the pancakes. Flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Drizzle the pancakes with the cream cheese glaze and serve hot.
