Ingredients
Scale
Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pancakes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Cinnamon Swirl:
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Cream Cheese Glaze: Melt the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla, then set aside.
- Pancakes: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, and vegetable oil. Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined—do not overmix. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the swirl.
- Transfer to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a small corner cut off. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter per pancake. When bubbles form on the surface, pipe the cinnamon mixture in a spiral pattern over the batter. Flip the pancake and cook until golden on the other side. Serve warm with a drizzle of cream cheese glaze.
Notes
- The cinnamon swirl mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape when piped.
- Wipe the pan between batches to prevent burnt sugar from sticking.
- For extra decadence, top with whipped cream or chopped pecans.
