Preparation

• Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag for later use.
• Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
• Whisk Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smoothly blended.
• Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Leave a few lumps.
• Heat the Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet.
• Add Cinnamon Swirl: Use your prepared cinnamon filling to create a swirl pattern on top of the batter after pouring it onto the skillet.
• Cook the Pancakes: Cook until bubbles appear and edges look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
• Prepare the Cream Cheese Icing: Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust if necessary.
• Serve Deliciously: Stack pancakes, drizzle with cream cheese icing, and add cinnamon or nuts for garnishing.
