Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for cinnamon swirl)
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar (for cinnamon swirl)
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for cinnamon swirl)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined (do not overmix). Set batter aside.
In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon swirl. Scoop the mixture into a zip-top plastic bag or a piping bag and snip off the corner for swirling.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
Pipe a swirl of the cinnamon mixture onto the surface of each pancake, starting from the center and working your way outward in a spiral pattern.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip gently and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon swirl.
To prepare the cream cheese glaze, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.
Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with cream cheese glaze, and enjoy the cinnamon bun-inspired flavors!
