Instructions:
- Start by making the cream cheese glaze. In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until you have a smooth, pourable glaze. Set it aside.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the cinnamon swirl by mixing together the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Transfer this mixture to a piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag with a small corner snipped off.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for the pancake batter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a griddle or a large skillet over medium heat and grease it with a bit of butter or cooking spray.
- Pour a small amount of pancake batter onto the griddle to form a small pancake, then use the cinnamon swirl mixture to pipe a spiral over the pancake.
- Cover the cinnamon swirl with a bit more pancake batter to encase it.
- Cook until the pancake bubbles on the surface, then flip and cook until it’s golden brown on both sides.
- Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the cooked pancakes.
- Serve your cinnamon roll pancakes warm, and enjoy!
