Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, melted + extra for cooking
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cinnamon sugar swirl:
  • ¼ cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted
  • Cream cheese drizzle:
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2–3 tablespoons (30-45ml) milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk and vanilla extract until combined. Stir in melted butter (not too hot).
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter for the cinnamon sugar swirl.
  5. Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
  6. Spoon about ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle. Drizzle cinnamon sugar mixture onto the batter and swirl gently with a toothpick or skewer.
  7. Cook pancakes until bubbles form and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Keep warm on a cooling rack.
  8. Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Adjust milk for consistency.
  9. Stack pancakes on plates and drizzle generously with cream cheese glaze. Optionally sprinkle cinnamon on top.

Notes

Keep batter gently mixed to avoid toughness. Use medium heat to prevent burning cinnamon sugar. Microwave cinnamon sugar swirl briefly if it hardens. Softened cream cheese is essential for smooth drizzle. Pancakes can be kept warm in a 200°F oven. For vegan or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients as noted.
