Pancake Batter

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Cinnamon Swirl

    In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pancake Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, mix milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet. Quickly drizzle some of the cinnamon swirl mix over the pancake batter and swirl it with a knife or toothpick. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Make the Cream Cheese Icing

    In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Stack pancakes on a plate and drizzle with cream cheese icing. Serve warm.
