- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
- In a large bowl, whisk together all of your dry ingredients: the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients in. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir until you have a smooth, thick paste. Transfer this mixture into a small zip-top bag and snip off a tiny corner.
- Heat a lightly greased non-stick griddle or large frying pan over medium-low heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
- Immediately after pouring the batter, pipe the cinnamon swirl mixture in a spiral motion starting from the center of each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk (or cream), and vanilla extract. Mix until completely smooth and creamy.
- As soon as the pancakes are ready, stack them high on serving plates and drizzle generously with the warm cream cheese glaze.
