Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1¾ cups milk (whole or 2%)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
4 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. In a bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Place into a piping or zip-top bag. Let it rest to thicken.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, beat eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
4. Pour wet mixture into dry and stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium and lightly grease.
6. Scoop ¼ cup batter for each pancake onto the hot surface.
7. Snip a corner of the swirl bag and pipe a spiral on top of each pancake.
8. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form, flip, and cook 1–2 more minutes.
9. Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
10. Stack pancakes and drizzle with glaze. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Let the cinnamon swirl mixture sit for 10 minutes to firm up for better piping.
Don’t overmix the pancake batter—small lumps keep them fluffy.
Wipe the skillet between batches to prevent burnt cinnamon residue.
