Recipe:

Ingredients:

For the pancake batter:

• 2 eggs
• 3 tablespoons of sugar
• 1 sachet of vanilla sugar (around 8g)
• 1/2 sachet of baking powder (approximately 8g)
• 200 ml lukewarm milk
• 250 g all-purpose flour

For the cinnamon topping:

• 70 g melted butter
• 80 g brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon of cornstarch

For the cream cheese frosting:

• 100g powdered sugar
• 50 g softened fresh cheese

Instructions:

1. Prepare the cinnamon topping: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and cornstarch until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag or plastic bag with a small slit in one corner. Cancel.
2. Prepare the cream cheese frosting: In another bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Transfer the frosting to a separate piping bag or plastic bag for drizzling later.
3. Prepare the pancake batter: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, vanilla sugar and baking powder. Add the eggs and warm milk, whisking until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
4. Cook the pancakes: Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour about 3 tablespoons of pancake batter into the pan for each pancake. While the pancake is still raw on top, spoon the cinnamon filling into a spiral onto the surface of the pancake (the filling should stay on one side of the pancake).
5. Flip and cook: Cook the pancake until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set, then carefully flip it and cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
6. Serve: Once all the pancakes are cooked, pour the cream cheese frosting on top of each pancake. Serve hot and enjoy the perfect combination of cinnamon rolls and pancakes.

These Cinnamon Roll Pancakes are a fun and delicious way to enjoy a classic breakfast with a sweet twist. Serve them warm with lots of cream cheese frosting and savor every cinnamon-filled bite!
