Instructions

Prepare cinnamon swirl by mixing melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon.

Whisk mixture until smooth and transfer to squeeze bottle or piping bag.

Set cinnamon swirl mixture aside at room temperature for easy piping later.

Make cream cheese glaze by beating cream cheese and butter until fluffy.

Gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, beating until smooth and creamy.

Adjust glaze consistency with more milk if needed for drizzling texture.

Set cream cheese glaze aside while preparing pancake batter from scratch.

Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in large bowl.

In separate bowl, whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and sour cream.

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.

Don't overmix batter - a few lumps are perfectly fine for fluffy pancakes.

Let batter rest for 5 minutes while heating griddle to proper temperature.

Heat griddle or large non-stick pan over medium heat until hot.

Lightly grease griddle with butter and wipe excess with paper towel.

Pour 1/4 cup batter onto griddle for each pancake, spacing evenly apart.

Immediately pipe cinnamon swirl in spiral pattern on top of each pancake.

Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.

Carefully flip pancakes and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

The cinnamon swirl side should be beautifully caramelized and fragrant when done.

Transfer cooked pancakes to warm plate and cover with clean kitchen towel.

Repeat cooking process with remaining batter, adding butter as needed to griddle.

Warm cream cheese glaze slightly if it has thickened during cooking process.

Stack pancakes on serving plates with cinnamon swirl side facing up.

Drizzle generously with warm cream cheese glaze and extra cinnamon if desired.

Serve immediately with butter, maple syrup, and fresh berries for complete indulgence.
