Cinnamon Swirled pancakes with Cream Cheese Syrup

There are numerous things you can create to change up the way a normal pancake or even waffle taste. Many people use maple syrup, others add fruit, some may use whipping cream; there are tons of possibilities.

Today I decided to add the cinnamon mixture that I use when I make my cinnamon bread.
I took a pancake recipe that I already loved and added a twist to it. I swirled in the cinnamon mixture; that made for an extra delicious pancakes.

Step One - After preparing the batter poured it on the griddle and let it sit for approximately one minute just to firm up so the cinnamon mixture would not run out when I swirl it in.

Note - I cook the pancakes on low so that they will not cook too quickly.

Step Two - I put the cinnamon mixture in a pastry bag and swirled it onto the pancakes.

Note - you can use a plastic zip bag if you do not have a pastry bag and just snit the side after you pour the mixture into it.

 Step Three - I waited approximately 2 minutes before flipping sides (I could see the bubbles starting to pop on top on the pancake) . As you can see, the cinnamon mixture did not go through to the other side since in "Step One" I waited a minute before swirling in the mixture.

Once the pancakes are finished you can see how the cinnamon mixture baked in the pancakes perfectly making it look crispy and caramelized.

Now comes the topping; I mixed together melted butter, melted cream cheese, confectioner sugar and vanilla bean paste to make the cream cheese syrup.

                                   
My boyfriend said "these are the best pancakes he has ever had." Now that is a huge compliment and made my day that much better. I will defiantly be making these again.
