Ingredients
- 60 g White Flour (about ½ cup)
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1.5 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 pinch Salt
- 80 ml Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 55 g Cream Cheese (about ¼ cup)
- 1.5 tbsp Sugar
- 0.5 tsp Cinnamon (For Cream)
- 1 tbsp Milk (For Cream)
Instructions
- 1Step 1: First, make the cream cheese topping. In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, sugar, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon (for cream), and 1 tablespoon of milk (for cream) until completely smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- 2Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the white flour, brown sugar, baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- 3Step 3: Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove.
- 4Step 4: Pour the milk, egg, and melted butter into the dry ingredients. Use a spoon to gently mix just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are totally fine and help keep the pancakes fluffy!
- 5Step 5: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little extra butter.
- 6Step 6: Pour the batter into the pan, dividing it to make exactly 3 medium pancakes (about a scant ¼ cup of batter for each). Cook until you see bubbles forming on the top and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes).
- 7Step 7: Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- 8Step 8: Stack the 3 hot pancakes on a plate and generously spoon the prepared cinnamon cream cheese topping all over them. Enjoy immediately!
Chef's Tips
- •Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing, otherwise your topping might be lumpy.
- •If your cream cheese topping is too thick, stir in an extra splash of milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
- •Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel between batches if you notice the butter starting to burn.
