For Pancakes
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (may need to add a little more if batter is too thick)
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large egg, beaten
- OR use pancake batter from a mix (we like Bisquick)
Cinnamon Filling
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
Cream Cheese Glaze
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Prepare Cinnamon Filling: In a medium bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Scoop the filling into a small zip baggie and set aside. Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes until slightly thick.
- Prepare Pancake batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk in milk, oil, and egg just until moistened. If using a boxed mix, prepare according to package directions.
- Prepare Cream Cheese glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the butter and cream cheese until melted. Whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a skillet over low heat, pour batter, squeeze cinnamon filling on top, flip when bubbles appear, cook until browned. Keep warm in the oven.
- Serve: Spoon warmed cream cheese glaze over each pancake before serving.
Notes
- You can customize the amount of cinnamon filling to suit your preference for each pancake.
- Adjust the sweetness of the glaze by adding more or less powdered sugar to taste.
