Ingredients

• INGREDIENTS:
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/3 cup soft light brown sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese
• 3/4 cup icing sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup plain flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, plus additional for pan frying

Preparation

Step 1

DIRECTIONS:

To make the cinnamon filling, combine the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir vigorously until well-combined, and pour the mixture into a pastry piping bag. Set aside.
To make the cream cheese glaze, combine the butter, cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl and mix until smooth. Set aside.
To make the pancake batter, place all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Carefully add the milk, egg, and vegetable oil. Whisk together until smooth.
Heat some additional oil in a frying pan, and carefully add the pancake batter using a ladle. Take your piping bag of cinnamon filling, and squeeze a spiral over the batter.
Once bubbles begin to form on the surface of the pancake, flip it over using a spatula. Cook for a few more minutes until cooked through as desired. Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon filling.
Stack the pancakes on a serving plate. Drizzle generously with the cream cheese glaze, and serve.
