Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 ¼ cups buttermilk (300 ml), room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (for cinnamon swirl)
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar (50 g)
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt (for cinnamon swirl)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened (115 g)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (120 g), sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)
  • 2–3 tbsp milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth. Set aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
  4. Make the Batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined; batter should be a little lumpy. Do not overmix.
  5. Heat the Skillet: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil if needed.
  6. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup (60 ml) of batter onto skillet for each pancake. Before batter sets, drizzle about a tablespoon of cinnamon mixture over the top in a spiral pattern. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl cinnamon sugar into batter.
  7. Flip Carefully: When bubbles form on surface and edges look set (2-3 minutes), flip pancakes gently. Cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Keep Warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil while finishing the batch.
  9. Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk one tablespoon at a time until glaze reaches pourable consistency.
  10. Serve: Stack pancakes, drizzle generously with cream cheese glaze, and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Swirl cinnamon sugar into batter before it sets on the pan for best cinnamon roll effect. Use medium heat for even cooking. Keep ingredients at room temperature. If batter thickens, whisk in a tablespoon of milk before pouring. Smaller pancakes are easier to flip.
