Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
