Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for cinnamon filling)
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (for cinnamon filling)
- 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for cinnamon filling)
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Combine with dry ingredients.
- In a small bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to make the cinnamon filling. Pour into a zip-top bag and snip a small corner off.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease.
- Pour 1/4 cup batter onto skillet. Once bubbles form, pipe a spiral of cinnamon filling onto the pancake. Cook for another minute, then flip and cook for 1–2 minutes more.
- Repeat with remaining batter and cinnamon filling.
- In a small bowl, whisk cream cheese, milk, and powdered sugar until smooth to make the glaze.
- Drizzle glaze over warm pancakes and serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure cinnamon filling is soft enough to pipe but not too runny.
- Use a squeeze bottle for cleaner spirals of cinnamon filling.
- Pancakes are best served fresh with glaze poured right before serving.
