Ingredients
Method
For Cinnamon Sugar Swirl:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir until fully combined and thickened.
For Cream Cheese Icing:
- In another small bowl, whisk together the butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth with no lumps.
For Pancakes:
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder together.
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined—don’t overmix. There will still be some lumps.
- Heat a large pan or griddle over medium heat and grease it with butter or non-stick spray.
- Spoon ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the heated pan. Use a plastic bag with a cut corner or a spoon to swirl some of the cinnamon sugar mixture onto the batter.
- Once bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancake, flip it using a spatula.
- When the pancakes are golden and cooked through, transfer them to a plate and top with the cream cheese icing. Repeat with the remaining batter.
