Method

  1. Step 1:

    First make the batter. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. In a jug mix the milk, vegetable oil and egg. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk until you have a smooth batter. Set aside.

  2. Step 2:

    For the cinnamon swirl, mix together the melted butter, dark muscovado sugar and cinnamon until you have a smooth paste. Place into a piping bag and set aside.

  3. Step 3:

    For the glaze, gently heat the butter and cream cheese in a saucepan. Whisk in the icing sugar and vanilla until you have a smooth mixture. Set aside.

  4. Step 4:

    When you are ready to cook. Heat a frying pan on a medium high heat and wipe with some oiled kitchen paper. When hot, pour in about 60 ml of batter. Immediately pipe a swirl of cinnamon butter onto the  pancake. Wait for bubbles to form. Flip the pancake and cook for 30-45 seconds on the other side.

  5. Step 5:

    Remove the pancake for the pan. The pancakes can be kept warm while you finish the batch.

  6. Step 6:

    Wipe the sugar from the pan after each pancake to stop it burning.

  7. Step 7:

    Serve the pancakes warm with the glaze.
