Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg or cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 5 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 ounces cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°F and prepare a large sheet pan to keep pancakes warm.
  2. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and optional nutmeg or cinnamon in a large bowl.
  3. Mix in the beaten eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until just combined. Some lumps are fine; avoid overmixing. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Create the cinnamon swirl by mixing brown sugar, melted butter, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Transfer to a quart-size zip-top bag.
  5. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat, greasing it with cooking spray or melted butter.
  6. Cook pancakes using 1/3 cup of batter. When bubbles form, snip the corner of the cinnamon filling bag and swirl it on top of the pancake.
  7. Flip pancakes and cook for an additional 2 1/2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Prepare the cream cheese glaze by melting butter and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  9. Keep pancakes warm in the oven while repeating the cooking process for the remaining batter.
  10. Serve stacks of pancakes topped with the cream cheese glaze.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the batter for fluffy pancakes. Add chocolate chips or fruits for variations.
