Ingredients
UnitsScale
Pancake Batter:
1 1/2cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Filling:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
1/3cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Cream Cheese Glaze:
4ounces cream cheese (softened)
1/2cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional:
butter or oil for greasing pan
Instructions
Pancake Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag and snip a small corner.
Cooking: Heat a lightly greased nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet. Once bubbles start to form on the surface, swirl a small spiral of the cinnamon filling into the center of the pancake. Cook for another minute or so, then flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter and filling.
Cream Cheese Glaze: For the glaze, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until pourable. Drizzle over warm pancakes and serve immediately.
Notes
You can prepare the cinnamon filling and glaze ahead of time and refrigerate; just bring to room temperature before using.
For an extra treat, top with chopped pecans or a pat of butter.
