Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1.25 cups milk
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 0.25 cups brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened, for glaze
  • 0.5 cups powdered sugar for glaze
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for glaze
  • 2 tablespoons milk for glaze

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, mix milk, beaten egg, and melted butter until combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  • Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  • Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  • While pancakes cook, mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over each pancake as they finish cooking or swirl it into the batter before cooking.
  • To make the glaze, beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until creamy and spreadable.
  • Serve pancakes warm with cream cheese glaze drizzled on top.

Notes

For extra indulgence, add chopped nuts or raisins to the batter. Best served immediately.
