Ingredients
For the Pancakes:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons melted butter
For the Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Swirl:
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Pour the mixture into a small plastic bag and snip off a tiny corner to create a piping bag. Set aside.
- Mix Pancake Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the egg with the milk and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix).
- Cook Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Immediately pipe a swirl of the cinnamon mixture onto the surface of each pancake.
- Flip and Cook:
- Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon swirl.
- Make the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Serve:
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm pancakes and serve immediately.
