Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Liquid and Flavor Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Filling:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–4 tablespoons milk (adjust to desired consistency)
Instructions
- Craft the aromatic cinnamon filling by blending melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until thoroughly integrated. Reserve the mixture for later use.
- Construct the pancake foundation by whisking dry ingredients in one vessel: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate container, combine wet components: buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Merge wet and dry mixtures, stirring until just incorporated, allowing minor lumps to remain.
- Warm a non-stick skillet to medium heat, lightly lubricating the surface with butter or cooking spray. Ladle approximately 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Immediately trace the cinnamon filling in a spiral pattern atop each pancake. Allow 2-3 minutes cooking time until surface bubbles emerge and edges solidify. Flip pancakes, cooking an additional 1-2 minutes until achieving a golden-brown complexion.
- Prepare the luxurious cream cheese glaze by whipping softened cream cheese and butter until silky smooth. Incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly. Incrementally introduce milk, one tablespoon at a time, until achieving a pourable consistency.
- Assemble the pancakes in an elegant stack, generously cascading the cream cheese glaze across the surface. Optional: Enhance with a sprinkle of additional cinnamon or chopped nuts for textural intrigue.
Notes
- Ensure butter and ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better incorporation.
- Use a squeeze bottle or piping bag for precise cinnamon swirl application on pancakes.
- Keep heat consistent at medium to prevent burning while achieving golden-brown pancake edges.
- Adjust glaze thickness by adding milk or powdered sugar gradually for perfect drizzling consistency.
