Description

Soft and fluffy pancakes swirled with a sweet cinnamon filling and topped with a creamy glaze, inspired by classic cinnamon rolls, perfect for a cozy breakfast treat.


Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Prepare the pancake batter: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then add the milk, egg, and melted butter. Mix until smooth but avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.
  2. Make the cinnamon swirl mixture: In a separate bowl, stir together melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Transfer this mixture into a piping bag or a resealable zip bag for easy swirling.
  3. Heat the pan: Preheat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat to ensure proper cooking temperature for the pancakes.
  4. Cook the pancakes and swirl: Pour the pancake batter into circles on the heated pan. Immediately pipe the cinnamon swirl mixture onto each pancake in a spiral pattern.
  5. Cook until bubbles form: Allow the pancakes to cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, then carefully flip and cook the other side until golden and cooked through.
  6. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and drizzle-able.
  7. Serve: Drizzle the prepared glaze over the warm pancakes and serve immediately for a delicious cinnamon roll pancake breakfast experience.

Notes

  • Cook pancakes on medium-low heat to prevent the cinnamon swirl from burning.
  • Do not overmix the pancake batter to maintain fluffiness.
  • Use a piping bag or zip bag with a small cut corner for easy cinnamon swirl application.
  • The glaze can be adjusted in thickness by adding more or less milk.
