Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Cinnamon Filling Ingredients:
- 0.33 cup butter, melted
- 0.75 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Glaze Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 ounces (56 grams) cream cheese
- 1.25 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Craft a silky cinnamon mixture by combining melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a medium bowl, then transfer to a ziplock bag and allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate mixing bowl, then gently incorporate milk, oil, and beaten egg until just combined, tolerating a few small lumps in the batter.
- Prepare the luxurious cream cheese glaze by microwaving butter and cream cheese together, whisking until smooth, then folding in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until well integrated.
- Preheat a large skillet or griddle on low heat, lightly coating the surface with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour pancake batter onto the heated surface, creating circles approximately half a cup in diameter.
- Carefully snip a small corner of the cinnamon-filled ziplock bag and create an elegant spiral pattern directly onto the pancake’s surface.
- Wait for tiny bubbles to emerge across the pancake’s surface, indicating it’s ready to be flipped.
- Gently turn the pancake using a wide spatula and cook the opposite side until achieving a golden-brown hue, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer each completed pancake to a baking sheet and maintain warmth in a low-temperature oven.
- Once all pancakes are prepared, generously drizzle the warm cream cheese glaze over the top and serve immediately for maximum deliciousness.
Notes
- Chill the cinnamon filling before piping to achieve a thicker, more controlled swirl pattern on pancakes.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother batter and better pancake texture.
- Maintain low heat while cooking to prevent burning and ensure even cinnamon filling caramelization.
- Create a ziplock bag piping tool by snipping a small corner for precise cinnamon spiral application.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a preheated oven at 200°F to maintain optimal serving temperature.
- Drizzle cream cheese glaze just before serving to preserve its silky, glossy consistency.
