Cinnamon Roll Pancakes Delight (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cinnamon Swirl

01 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
03 - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

→ Pancakes

04 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
05 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
07 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
09 - 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
10 - 1 large egg
11 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
12 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Cream Cheese Icing

13 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
14 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
15 - 3/4 cup powdered sugar
16 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
17 - 2-3 tablespoons milk, as needed

# Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well blended. Transfer to a piping bag or ziplock bag and set aside.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well combined. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until just combined. A few lumps are okay. Set aside.
03 - In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until thick and lump-free. Mix in the milk until the desired consistency is reached.
04 - Warm a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with cooking spray or butter. Pour 1/4 cup portions of pancake batter into the skillet. Cut the corner off the piping bag and pipe a thin swirl of cinnamon filling over each pancake. When bubbles appear on the surface, flip them and cook for about 1-2 minutes more. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
05 - Serve the pancakes warm with a drizzle of cream cheese icing. Enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - After mixing, let the pancake batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
02 - Maintain medium heat throughout cooking. If the heat is too high, the cinnamon swirl may burn.
