Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) whole milk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the cinnamon swirl:
  • 1/3 cup (70g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • For the cream cheese drizzle:
  • 4 oz (110g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Slowly pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to form a thick paste for the cinnamon swirl.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto skillet for each pancake. Immediately spoon cinnamon swirl onto batter and use a toothpick or spoon to swirl it through the batter.
  7. Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. While pancakes cook, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add milk gradually until drizzle reaches desired consistency.
  9. Stack pancakes on a plate and generously drizzle cream cheese glaze over the top. Optionally sprinkle with cinnamon or chopped pecans.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use room temperature eggs and milk for better texture. Use medium heat to avoid burning or undercooking. Pipe cinnamon swirl immediately after pouring batter and swirl gently but quickly. Let batter rest 5 minutes before cooking. If batter is thick, add a splash more milk. Chill cinnamon swirl if it runs too much. Use a wide spatula for flipping.
