Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for cinnamon filling)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for cinnamon filling)
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon (for cinnamon filling)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened (for icing)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for icing)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for icing)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon until it forms a paste. Transfer this mixture to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off for easier application later.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t worry if there are a few lumps; overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Immediately use the cinnamon filling to create a swirl pattern on top of the batter.
- Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- While the pancakes are cooking, mix together 4 oz cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more milk or sugar if needed.
- Stack the pancakes high on a plate, drizzle the cream cheese icing over the top, and if you like, sprinkle with additional cinnamon or chopped nuts for extra flavor. Enjoy your delightful breakfast treat!
