• ½ tsp salt
• 1 ¼ cups buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp melted butter

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

• 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
• ¼ cup butter (softened)
• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 2-3 tbsp milk

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pancake Batter:

   • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
   • In another bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.

2. Make the Cinnamon Swirl:

   • In a small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
   • Pour the mixture into a squeeze bottle or a ziplock bag with the corner cut off for easy swirling.

3. Cook the Pancakes:

   • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
   • Pour ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the skillet.
   • Immediately squeeze the cinnamon mixture into a swirl pattern on the pancake.
   • Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

4. Make the Cream Cheese Glaze:

   • In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth.
   • Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
   • Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the glaze reaches a pourable consistency.

5. Serve:

   • Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle with cream cheese glaze.
   • Serve immediately and enjoy!
