Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 ounces (113 grams) butter
- 2 ounces (57 grams) cream cheese
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whisk together dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl, creating a uniform base for the pancake batter.
- Incorporate wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
- Prepare the signature cinnamon swirl by melting butter and blending it with brown sugar and ground cinnamon until a rich, spreadable filling develops.
- Craft the decadent cream cheese glaze by gently warming butter and cream cheese, then smoothly integrating powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat, ensuring an even cooking surface for delicate pancakes.
- Ladle batter onto the heated skillet, allowing it to spread naturally and create a circular shape.
- Wait patiently for small bubbles to emerge across the pancake’s surface, indicating it’s ready for the cinnamon filling.
- Using a squeeze bottle or spoon, carefully create a mesmerizing spiral of cinnamon filling across the pancake’s surface.
- Gently flip the pancake, revealing a golden-brown underside, and cook the opposite side until it achieves a similar warm, caramelized color.
- Repeat the process with remaining batter, maintaining consistent heat and technique.
- Complete the culinary masterpiece by generously drizzling the velvety cream cheese glaze over the warm, swirled pancakes.
- Serve immediately to preserve the optimal temperature and textural experience.
Notes
- Ensure pancake batter is not overmixed to keep them light and fluffy, stirring just until ingredients are combined.
- Use a squeeze bottle or piping bag for precise cinnamon filling swirls, creating beautiful spiral patterns on pancakes.
- Lower heat slightly if cinnamon filling starts to burn, preventing bitter taste and ensuring even caramelization.
- Make gluten-free version by substituting all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free blend for those with dietary restrictions.
