Description
Delightful and fluffy pancakes inspired by classic cinnamon rolls, topped with a creamy glaze for a warm and indulgent breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together your flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking until well blended. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined—some lumps are okay.
- Mix the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, blend the brown sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Cook the Pancakes: Preheat your non-stick skillet over medium heat. For each pancake, ladle about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Swirl a teaspoon of your cinnamon-sugar mixture directly into each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown (2-3 minutes each side).
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and milk, mixing until pourable.
- Serve and Savor: Stack your pancakes, drizzle the glaze over the top, and enjoy warm.
Notes
Make-ahead batter can be stored in the fridge overnight for quick preparation. Customize with toppings like nuts or chocolate chips.
