Pancake Cooking Steps
  1. In a small bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, packed brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, a large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well-combined.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just blended; allow to rest for 5-10 minutes.
  5. Preheat a skillet over medium heat, then pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet. Drizzle cinnamon swirl over the pancake.
  6. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden.
  7. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while finishing the rest of the batter.
  8. Beat cream cheese and softened butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, adjusting consistency with milk or cream.
  9. Serve pancakes stacked and drizzled with cream cheese glaze, optionally topping with more cinnamon or nuts.
