Instructions
Cream Cheese Glaze:
- Using a small saucepan melt the butter over low heat.
- Remove from the heat and mix in the cream cheese. Whisk until almost smooth.
- Mix in the powdered sugar and then add the vanilla. Stir and set aside.
Pancake Batter:
- In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a separate bowl, add the wet ingredients: buttermilk, milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla. Beat until well combined.
- Pour the Milk mixture into the four mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. (Lumps are ok to have.) Let rest for 10 minutes.
Cinnamon Swirl Mixture:
- While the batter is resting make the swirl mixture. In a separate bowl add butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix.
- Transfer the mixture to a quart size zip lock bag. Cut one corner off.
Cooking the Pancakes:
- Scoop the batter into a 4 inch pancake.
- When the batter starts to form bubbles use the Cinnamon Mixture to pipe a swirl on top of the pancake. Start from the center and make a swirl going outward.
- Cook until the bubbles begin to pop, about 2-3 more minutes.
- Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes -until the underside of the pancake is a golden brown.
- Wipe the pan, if needed, and repeat for each pancake.
- Top the pancakes with the cream cheese glaze.
- Note: Use an electric griddle to make several pancakes at a time
