Cinnamon Roll Pancakes (Printable Version)

Fluffy pancakes with cinnamon sugar swirls and sweet glaze, combining the best of cinnamon rolls and breakfast classics.

# Ingredients:

→ Pancake Batter

01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 1 tablespoon sugar
05 - 1 1/4 cups milk
06 - 1 egg
07 - 3 tablespoons melted butter

→ Cinnamon Swirl

08 - 1/4 cup brown sugar
09 - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
10 - 2 tablespoons softened butter

→ Glaze

11 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
12 - 2-3 tablespoons milk

# Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until thoroughly combined.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
03 - In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread the softened butter on a piece of parchment paper, then evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the butter.
04 - Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Immediately swirl a small amount of the cinnamon-sugar butter mixture into the top of each pancake.
05 - Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
06 - In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth to create a pourable glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm pancakes and serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes before cooking to yield fluffier pancakes.
02 - The cinnamon swirl mixture can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
