Preparation

Step 1

Cinnamon Filling:
Mix the three ingredients together. Place in a disposable piping bag or put in a Ziploc bag and snip off a corner.

Pancakes:
Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another bowl. Stir them together until everything is moistened, leaving a few lumps.

Heat your griddle to exactly 325°F. At this temperature, the pancakes will not cook too quickly and the cinnamon filling will not burn.

Make desired size pancake on greased griddle.

Using the piping bag and starting at the center of the pancake, create a cinnamon swirl.

When the pancake has lots of bubble, turn it with a spatula. The cinnamon mixture will melt and create the craters which the cream cheese glaze will fill.

Cream Cheese Glaze:
In a microwave safe bowl melt the butter and cream cheese and stir together.

Whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Add a little milk, if needed, to make it a glaze consistency.

To serve, place pancake on plate, then cover with cream cheese glaze.
