Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tbsp melted butter or oil
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

2 oz cream cheese softened
½ cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk add more for a thinner glaze
½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Make the Cinnamon Swirl:

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Pour the mixture into a piping bag or zip-top bag and snip off a tiny corner for easy swirling.

Prepare the Pancake Batter:

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just combined — don’t overmix.

Cook the Pancakes:

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. When bubbles form on the surface, pipe a cinnamon swirl in a spiral shape over the top.
Flip carefully and cook for 1–2 minutes until golden. Wipe the pan between batches to prevent the sugar from burning.

Make the Cream Cheese Glaze:

In a small bowl, whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust consistency as desired.

Assemble and Serve:

Stack the pancakes, drizzle generously with cream cheese glaze, and enjoy warm.

Notes

Keep the heat at medium or medium-low to avoid burning the cinnamon swirl.
Use a squeeze bottle for neat, even spirals.
Let the pancake batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking for fluffier results.
You can substitute the glaze with maple syrup or whipped cream if preferred.
