Equipment

  • Griddle
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • Microwave
  • Resealable Bag

Ingredients
  

Pancakes

  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Cinnamon Swirl Filling

  • 5 ½ tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

Cream Cheese Icing

  • ¼ cup butter, softened
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup confectioners' sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cooking spray

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Stir milk and vinegar together in a bowl; set aside until milk 'sours', about 5 minutes.
  • Mix flour, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl.
  • Whisk egg, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract into milk mixture.
  • Slowly pour milk mixture into flour mixture while whisking constantly until batter is just moistened and evenly mixed.
  • Combine brown sugar, ¼ cup melted butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Pour cinnamon mixture into a resealable bag; refrigerate until filling is thick and spreadable, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix ¼ cup softened butter and cream cheese together in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave for 40 seconds. Stir until smooth and continue heating until melted. Stir confectioners' sugar and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until icing is smooth.

Cooking

  • Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour about ¼ cup batter into the center of griddle. Cook pancake until bubbles start to appear, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Cut 1 corner off the center of the bag with filling. Swirl filling over pancake, leaving enough space around edges that filling doesn't touch the griddle.
  • Flip pancake and cook until other side is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Drizzle icing over pancake; remove from pan and set aside. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • Wipe the pan/griddle with a clean, damp cloth in between each pancake to remove any excess cinnamon mixture, and spray the griddle with cooking spray between each pancake.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

For larger pancakes, use about ⅓ cup batter per pancake and cook a little longer as needed.
