Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

• 1 cup all purpose flour

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 cup buttermilk

• 1 large egg

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

For the Cinnamon Filling:

• 4 tablespoons butter, melted

• ⅓ cup packed brown sugar

• ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

• 4 tablespoons butter, softened

• 2 ounces cream cheese, softened

• ¾ cup powdered sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Prepare the Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined. Transfer this mixture into a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate until it thickens to a toothpaste-like consistency, about 10 minutes.

2. Make the Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vegetable oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

3. Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the softened butter and cream cheese. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the glaze is smooth and creamy. Set aside.

4. Cook the Pancakes: Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with non-stick spray or butter. Pour about ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the griddle. Before flipping, snip the corner of the bag containing the cinnamon filling and squeeze a swirl of the cinnamon mixture onto the top of the pancake. When bubbles form on the surface, flip the pancake and cook until golden brown on the other side.

5. Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle with the prepared cream cheese glaze. Serve warm and enjoy!
