For the cinnamon filling:
-
In a medium bowl, stir together butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
-
Pour into a zip lock bag and set in the refrigerator until further use.
-
For the glaze:
-
In a small bowl, combine butter and cream cheese, stirring until smooth and well combined.
-
Stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla - incorporate well. (I found it to be somewhat stiff at this point, so I added a couple teaspoons of milk to make it feel like more of a glaze than a frosting.) Set aside.
-
For the pancakes:
-
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Whisk the milk, eggs, and oil in to dry ingredients until well combined and add to the flour mixture.
-
Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
-
Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup and add batter to the skillet, making about 4-inch pancakes.
-
Retrieve cinnamon filling and massage so as to incorporate any butter that may have separated.
-
Snip the corner of your baggie and squeeze filling into the open corner.
-
When your pancakes begin to form bubbles, add the filling in a swirling manner.
-
Cook pancakes 2-3 minutes or until they begin to turn golden-brown and then flip.
-
Cook 1-2 minutes until golden brown again.
-
Flip pancakes onto a plate and serve with a drizzle of glaze.
