Ingredients
  

Cinnamon Filling

  • ½ cup dark brown sugar (not packed)
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

Cream Cheese Glaze

  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • ¼ cup cream cheese, at room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar, sifted

Pancake Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
  • Butter, for cooking

Instructions
 

  • Make the Cinnamon FillingIn a medium bowl, stir together the brown sugar, butter and cinnamon. Scoop the filling into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Set aside.
  • Make the Cream Cheese GlazeIn a small bowl, whisk the butter, cream cheese and vanilla extract together until smooth, then stir in the powdered sugar. Set aside.
  • Make the PancakesPlace a large, nonstick pan over medium-low heat.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • In a separate jug, whisk the milk, egg and oil together, then stir this into the dry ingredients until the batter is mostly incorporated but still has a few small lumps remaining.
  • Brush the warm pan with butter and scoop on ⅓ cup (2 ½ oz/71 g) of batter.
  • When the batter begins to bubble (after 1-2 minutes), pipe on the cinnamon filling in a swirl pattern, starting at the center and moving outwards. Continue cooking the pancake for 1-2 minutes, or until the bubbles begin popping on top of the pancake and it's golden brown on the bottom. Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, until golden.
  • Transfer the pancake to a plate, cinnamon swirl side up. Cover with a clean tea towel to keep warm while you continue cooking the remaining pancakes.
  • Just before serving, drizzle with the cream cheese glaze.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Rewarm gently in the microwave for about 15 seconds before serving
