Ingredients
Scale
For the Pancakes:
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (may need to add a little more if batter is too thick)
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large egg (beaten)
- OR use pancake batter from a mix (we like Bisquick)
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
- 1/3 cup butter (melted)
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil, and beaten egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Add a little more milk if the batter is too thick.
- In another bowl, combine the melted butter, packed light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir until evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, combine the butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy to make the glaze.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour portions of pancake batter onto the cooking surface.
- Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to set. Carefully flip and cook the other side until golden and cooked through.
- Continue cooking the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with the cinnamon brown sugar mixture and cream cheese glaze.
Notes
- You can use pancake batter from a mix such as Bisquick instead of preparing the homemade batter.
- Add a little extra milk if the pancake batter is too thick.
- Soften the cream cheese before preparing the glaze for a smoother consistency.
