Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Oh what can I say about these delicious circular flap jacks of love. These were not as easy as I expected them to be. The recipe I used needed some tweaking big time...but in the end. OH my peas, they were amazing. Enough jibber jabber, there are starving people in Wisconsin that need to make these. ;-)


Ingredients:

PANCAKES

4 C. Flour
2 tsp. Baking Powder
2 tsp. Salt
4 tbsp. Vegetable Oil
4 Eggs
1/4 C. Milk
Dash of cinnamon
Small dash of nutmeg

CINNAMON FILLING

6 tbsp. Butter, melted
1 1/2 C. Brown Sugar
2 tbsp. Cinnamon

CREAM CHEESE GLAZE

4 oz. Cream Cheese
1/2 C. Butter
1 1/2 C. Powdered Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
Small dash of cinnamon

First things first, make your cinnamon filling. Melt butter and stir in your brown sugar and cinnamon. Some people may use piping bags to put it in, but I am no Betty dang Crocker. I use a zip lock bag. Once mixed, pour it into the bag and stick it in the fridge until you are ready for it.

Next, I prepare my cream cheese glaze JUST so its almost ready when the pancakes are hot. You dont have to yet though.

Mix up the pancakes. Dry ingredients in one bowl, wet in the another, then combine. Feel free to use a mixer for this if you want.

Spray a pan/griddle with nonstick spray and/or use veg. oil before pouring in pancake mix. Heat over medium and pour in pancakes any size you want. Now pull out that bag of cinnamon mix and while its still gooey on top, make a swirl around the top of the pancake. Wait until its nice and bubbly and carefully flip. Cook a little in the cinnamon side and flip it onto a plate. (The cinnamon may burn, carefully wipe out as needed)

For the cream cheese glaze:
Melt butter and cream cheese in microwave, mix in vanilla, powdered sugar and a dash of cinnamon (optional) until well blended and fill the cinnamon "craters" in your pancakes. Serve hot and enjoy! So good! So damn good!
