Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 1 whole Egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for frosting)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and softened butter. Mix well to form a thick, spreadable paste. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 5

Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Allow the pancake to cook for about 30–45 seconds, then pipe a swirl of the cinnamon-sugar mixture onto the top of the pancake.

Step 6

Continue to cook for another 1–2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip the pancake carefully and cook on the other side for an additional 1–2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon mixture.

Step 7

To make the cream cheese frosting, whisk together the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add a little extra milk if the frosting is too thick.

Step 8

Drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the warm pancakes and serve immediately. Enjoy!
