Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  
  

• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  
  

• 2 teaspoons baking powder
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
  

• 1 1/4 cups milk
  
  

• 2 large eggs
  
  

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  
  

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  
  

• 1/4 cup brown sugar
  
  

• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  
  

For the glaze:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  
  

• 2 tablespoons milk
  
  

• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  
  

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
   
   

2. In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
   
   

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
   
   

4. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon for the cinnamon swirl.
   
   

5. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
   
   

6. Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake. As soon as you pour the batter, drizzle a little bit of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
   
   

7. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter.
   
   

8. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
   
   

9. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
   
   

10. Serve the pancakes warm with the glaze drizzled on top.
