Make Cinnamon Swirl
In a small saucepan melt 1/4 cup butter over low heat, then stir in 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: low heat
Prepare Wet Batter
In a large mixing bowl whisk together 1/4 cup melted butter, 1 cup milk, 1 large egg, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until fully combined.
Time: PT5M
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl whisk 1 ⅓ cups all‑purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
Time: PT2M
Fold Dry Into Wet
Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet batter using a whisk or rubber spatula, mixing just until no streaks remain. Do not over‑mix.
Time: PT2M
Heat Skillet
Place a non‑stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with a little butter or oil. The surface is ready when a few drops of water sizzle.
Time: PT2M
Temperature: medium heat
Cook Pancakes with Swirl
Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet. Immediately spoon a teaspoon of the cinnamon swirl onto the center of the batter and use a skewer to swirl it gently. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2 minutes), then flip and cook another 1‑2 minutes until golden.
Time: PT15M
Temperature: medium heat
Make Cream Cheese Icing
In a clean bowl whisk together 2 tablespoons softened butter, 1/4 cup softened cream cheese, 3/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add a splash of milk if the icing is too thick and whisk until smooth.

Serve
Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle or spread the cream cheese icing over the top, and enjoy while warm.
