Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup cinnamon sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling
- ¼ cup cream cheese frosting
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the large egg thoroughly, then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine batter: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, leaving the batter slightly lumpy for fluffier pancakes.
- Heat skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour batter: Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter onto the heated skillet forming a round pancake base.
- Add filling: Sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon sugar evenly over the batter, place a dollop of cream cheese frosting in the center, then carefully cover the filling with a bit more batter to encase it.
- Cook and flip: Allow the pancake to cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then carefully flip it over and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay to ensure light and fluffy pancakes.
- Use a non-stick skillet for easy flipping and to prevent sticking.
- Adjust the cinnamon sugar amount to taste if you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor.
- Serve warm for best taste and to enjoy the gooey cream cheese filling.
- You can swap cream cheese frosting with a simple cream cheese spread mixed with powdered sugar for a fresher alternative.
