Instructions

Prepare Cinnamon Swirl

  1. In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix well. Transfer to a piping bag (or ziploc bag) and set aside.

Make Pancake Batter:

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk until well combined. Create a well in the center and pour in your wet ingredients. Fold your flour into your wet ingredients until well combined. Small lumps are fine! Don't over mix.

  2. Place your egg, ¼ cup of melted butter, vanilla, and milk into a mixing bowl. Whisk together.

Cook Pancakes

  1. Heat up your skillet on medium heat lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. I use an ice cream scoop and pour one heaping spoonful into the center of the pan.

  2. Using an ice cream soup, ladle or measuring cup, pour a heaping spoonful of batter into the center of the pan.

  3. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface..

  4. Cut tip of the piping bag and carefully pipe the cinnamon mixture in a spiral on top of the pancake, starting in the center. Avoid getting too close to the edge.

  5. Cook until the edges of your pancake look set, then gently flip pancake over and cook for about 1 minute more until golden.

  6. Remove from the skillet. Wipe clean, and repeat, until your batter is used up.

Assemble Pancakes

  1. Stack your pancakes, spreading cream cheese frosting between each layer. Use a piping bag with 1M tip for a ribbon look.

  2. Drizzle any remaining brown sugar mixture on top of the stack.

Make the Glaze

  1. Combine your powdered sugar and milk in a bowl and whisk together. Drizzle over pancakes.

  2. Serve immediately.
