How to Make Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Take these simple steps to make yourself your very own freshly-made cinnamon swirled pancakes:

Step 1: Prepare the Cinnamon Filling

1. In a small dish, mix the melted butter as well as brown sugar and cinnamon until it is smooth.
2. Transfer the mix to the piping bag or poly bag that has the end cut off. Set aside.

 2: Make the Pancake Batter

1. Within a mixing bowl large enough, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, buttermilk, as well as the melted butter and vanilla extract.
3. Gradually introduce the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until the ingredients are well combined. Make sure not to overmix!

 3: Cook the Pancakes

1. Prepare a non-stick pan or griddle at a medium temperature and then lightly grease it with oil or butter.
2. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake.
3. After bubbles have formed on the pancake’s surface (about 2 minutes), pipe a swirl of cinnamon filling on each pancake.
4. The pancakes should be carefully turned over and cooked for an additional 2 minutes or so until they are golden brown.

 4: Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze

1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together hardened and softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is smooth.

Helpful Tips

• If the cinnamon filling is too thick, heat it up to make the piping more simple.
• Do not mix the pancake batter too much The batter should be lump-free! The overmixing process can cause thick pancakes.
• Make use of a squeeze bottle to mix the cinnamon filling to make perfect swirls.

Cooking Tips

• For pancakes that are extra fluffy, make sure the batter sits for 5-10 minutes prior to making it into pancakes.
• Set the heat at a moderate level—if the temperature is too high, the pancakes could be burned before they’ve cooked through.
• To improve the health of your family, replace one-third of your all-purpose flour with whole-wheat flour.
