Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Ingredients

• 230 g all purpose flour
• 35 g granulated sugar
• 7 g baking powder
• 290 ml whole milk
• 1 egg
• 60 g butter or oil (melted if using butter)
• 35 g sour cream
• 5 g vanilla extract
• 3 g salt
• baking soda (mentioned in steps but not ingredients list; use 1/2 tsp)
• 84 g unsalted butter (softened)
• 38 g brown sugar
• 2.5 g cornstarch
• ground cinnamon (mentioned in steps but not filling list; use 1 tbsp)
• 120 g powdered sugar
• 30 g cream cheese
• 30 ml milk (adjust for consistency)
• 2 g vanilla extract
• salt (a pinch)

Steps

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag or a zip-top bag and snip a small corner off to create a small opening.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until the icing is smooth. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

4. 4

   In another bowl, whisk together the whole milk, sour cream, egg, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract.

5. 5

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

6. 6

   Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with butter.

7. 7

   Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. When bubbles begin to form on the surface, pipe a spiral of the cinnamon filling onto the pancake.

8. 8

   Cover the pan with a lid and let the pancake steam for 5-6 minutes. Repeat this process until all the batter is used.

9. 9

   Stack the warm pancakes and drizzle generously with the prepared cream cheese icing before serving.

Notes

The recipe mentions baking soda and cinnamon in the instructions, though they were omitted from the ingredient list. I have added them to the ingredients list with estimated quantities. Covering the pan with a lid is essential for steaming the pancake through without burning the bottom, as the cinnamon swirl side is not flipped.
