Ingredients
- 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
- 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.
- Batter Preparation: Whisk pancake ingredients until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency, creating an ideal canvas for the signature cinnamon design.
- Griddle Technique: Preheat a non-stick surface to medium-low heat, ensuring optimal cooking conditions without risking scorching.
- Pancake Formation: Ladle batter onto the heated surface, forming perfect circular shapes and allowing bubbles to emerge across the pancake’s landscape.
- Cinnamon Artistry: Once bubbles indicate readiness, delicately pipe the cinnamon mixture in an elegant spiral pattern across the pancake’s surface.
- 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.
- 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.
