Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
Yields pancakes
Ingredients
Pancake Batter:
- 3 cups (342 g) dry pancake mix, + water as directed by package
Cinnamon Sugar Filling:
- 6 Tbsp (85 g) butter
- ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar, gently packed
- 2 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 4 Tbsp (57 g) butter
- 2 oz (57 g) cream cheese
- 1 ¼ cup (150 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare pancake mix according to directions on package. Set aside.
- Prepare cinnamon sugar filling by softening butter in the microwave & adding the brown sugar & cinnamon. If the filling is very soft, put it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes or until it is a little more set. Fill into a plastic baggie & cut off a small piece of the corner (prepare for piping onto pancakes.) Set aside.
- Prepare syrup by melting the butter & cream cheese in the microwave. Then add powdered sugar & vanilla & whisk until smooth. Set aside.
- On a heated, greased griddle, pour pancake batter for desired size pancakes (mine were 5-6″ round) & do as many as will fit on your griddle. Using the cinnamon sugar baggie, pipe a swirl on top of each pancake, starting around the edges & working your way to the center. When bubbles begin to appear on the surface flip pancakes CAREFULLY (your cinnamon sugar filling will get heated, melt, & pop at you once it hits the griddle.)
- Continue cooking until lightly browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer pancakes to a clean plate & cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
- Repeat with the rest of the pancake batter/filling.
- Serve with warmed cream cheese glaze.
