Instructions
Making the Pancakes
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until you achieve a thick paste. Transfer to a piping bag or squeeze bottle.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and egg until combined. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just mixed—do not overmix!
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet. Once bubbles form on top, use your cinnamon swirl mixture to create a spiral over the pancake. Carefully flip it and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until the glaze is smooth and pourable. Adjust with more milk or sugar to get the consistency you want.
- Layer your fluffy pancakes on a warm plate and drizzle generously with the cream cheese glaze. Serve immediately for the best experience.
Notes
Top with fresh strawberries or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
