Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk (or milk with lemon juice)
- 1 large egg

- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for swirl)
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon (for swirl)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese (for glaze)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

Instructions
- Prepare the cinnamon swirl paste: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Whisk dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until blended.
- Combine and rest: Pour wet into dry ingredients and fold gently until combined. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Heat the griddle: Preheat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet to medium (~350°F/175°C).
- Pour and swirl: Pour ¼ cup batter for each pancake; immediately drizzle with cinnamon swirl paste.
- First-side cook: Cook until bubbles form and edges are set, then flip.
- Finish and keep warm: Cook other side until golden; keep pancakes warm in a low oven.
- Make the cream cheese glaze: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and milk until drizzling consistency is achieved.
- Plate and serve: Stack pancakes, drizzle with cream cheese glaze, and enjoy!
Notes
Batter resting improves texture. For a vegan version, use a flax egg and coconut oil.
