Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) milk
  • 3 tbsps (45 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (30 g) powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsps milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Crafting Cinnamon Swirl: Merge melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon into a luxurious, velvety mixture, then transfer to a piping bag with a precision-cut corner for controlled drizzling.
  2. Batter Preparation: Whisk pancake ingredients until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency, creating an ideal canvas for the signature cinnamon design.
  3. Griddle Technique: Preheat a non-stick surface to medium-low heat, ensuring optimal cooking conditions without risking scorching.
  4. Pancake Formation: Ladle batter onto the heated surface, forming perfect circular shapes and allowing bubbles to emerge across the pancake’s landscape.
  5. Cinnamon Artistry: Once bubbles indicate readiness, delicately pipe the cinnamon mixture in an elegant spiral pattern across the pancake’s surface.
  6. Precise Flipping: When golden edges appear and bubbles begin to burst, skillfully flip the pancake to reveal the caramelized cinnamon swirl, cooking until both sides reach a rich, golden-brown perfection.
  7. Serving Finale: Transfer each masterpiece to a waiting plate, optionally embellishing with a drizzle of cream cheese glaze or maple syrup for a decadent finishing touch.

Notes

Control Cinnamon Swirl Precision: Use a squeeze bottle or piping bag with a very small tip to create perfect, thin swirls without overwhelming the pancake batter.

Prevent Burning Technique: Maintain medium-low heat to ensure the cinnamon mixture caramelizes beautifully without scorching, allowing even cooking and rich flavor development.

Temperature Management: Let the pancake batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to achieve fluffier texture and more consistent pancake surface for swirling.

Gluten-Free Adaptation: Substitute regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend and add an extra egg for improved binding and texture in alternative diet versions.
