Description
Delicious pancakes that combine the warm cinnamon swirl flavor of cinnamon rolls, complete with a creamy glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (room temperature)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (to thin the glaze)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Pour the wet mix into the dry mix and stir until mostly smooth.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon to create the swirl mixture.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake.
- Quickly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mix onto the batter and swirl gently with a toothpick.
- Cook until bubbles form and edges look set (about 2–3 minutes), then flip and cook until golden brown (about 1–2 minutes).
- For the glaze, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth, adding milk to reach a desired consistency.
- Stack pancakes and drizzle with the cream cheese glaze while warm. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother batter. You can adjust the texture by adding a pinch of nutmeg for extra flavor or using different types of flour.
