Cinnamon roll pancakes

Ok, so I don't know who the original is but I saw these on The Baker Chick, and they just looked so delicious I thought I should get the word even MORE out there!


Ingredients:

pancakes: (makes about 4/5 pancakes)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 large egg beaten gentle
1 cup of buttermilk
1 tbsp canola oil

cinnimon filling (to swirl into the pancakes): *makes enough for much more than 4 pancakes
1/2 cup melted butter
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)

cream cheese glaze: (this just makes the pancakes):

4 tbsp butter
2 oz cream cheese
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation:
1. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl, then stir in the wet ingredients until it's, well, batter. A few lumps are ok (actually, a few lumps are good. over worked flour is tough)
2. In another medium sized bowl mix your cinnamon filling ingredients together. Put the mixture in a squeeze bottle or pastry bag, either one should have a small tip
3. In the microwave heat up your butter and cream cheese. Mix them together until they're smooth and melted. (Mine worked, but Baker Chick's didn't, she just put it through a food processor and it was fine) Whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Set it aside for later.
4. Warm up a frying pan on medium-low heat and spray on some cooking spray (or a little bit of butter, I like butter, personally). Scoop about 3/4 of pancake batter and pour it onto the pan (you know, like normal pancakes). Once it's cooked a little bit swirl your cinnamon mix into it. Wait until it starts to bubble on top and then flip it. Let this side cook for a little (1-2 minutes), put on an oven-safe plate and keep it warm in the oven until they're all done.
5. To serve, place a few on a plate and drizzle the cream cheese glaze over top. I enjoyed it with a few sliced strawberries, but that's just me :)

*I doubled the pancake recipe but NOT the cinnamon mixture recipe, since there's way more mixture than just enough for 4-5 pancakes.
