Ingredients
Pancake batter:
Cinnamon topping:
Glaze:
Materials
- pastry bag
- frying pan
Preparation
Prepare the pancake batter:
Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
Add eggs and oil and mix.
Add the milk a little at a time and mix well to obtain a homogeneous batter.
Prepare the cinnamon topping:
Mix melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Transfer to a piping bag and chill for ten minutes.
Grease a frying pan over medium heat (we used spray). Pour in half a ladleful of pancake batter and form a spiral (or other shape) of cinnamon topping using the piping bag.
When the pancakes form bubbles on the surface, carefully turn over and cook on the other side.
Brown the other side, then set aside and start forming the pancake tower.
Prepare the icing:
While the pancake tower quietly takes shape, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla to make the icing.
Pour the cream cheese frosting either directly onto the pancake tower, or onto the pancake you're about to devour.
Enjoy!
Observations
How to make fluffy pancakes with this cinnamon roll recipe?
For even fluffier pancakes, let the dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the gluten to develop.
What's the secret to a successful cinnamon topping spiral on pancakes?
Use a piping bag to pipe the topping in a spiral onto the batter poured into the pan, for precise control and a pretty visual effect. The filling should be neither too liquid nor too thick. It can be tricky to form the spiral, so don't hesitate to make other shapes ;-)
How do I keep cinnamon roll pancakes fresh?
Store in an airtight tin at room temperature for 1-2 days, or in the fridge for up to 3 days, then reheat slightly before serving.
You can also store them in the freezer and reheat them before eating.
Can I prepare the glaze in advance, and how do I store it?
Yes, cream cheese glaze can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Remember to mix it well before use.
