Instructions

Prepare cinnamon swirl by mixing melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

Add nutmeg and flour to cinnamon mixture, whisk until smooth.

Transfer swirl mixture to squeeze bottle and set aside.

For pancakes, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In separate bowl, beat eggs then add buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla.

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.

Don't overmix batter - lumps are okay for fluffy pancakes.

Let batter rest for 5 minutes while preparing cream cheese glaze.

Beat softened cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.

Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth and creamy.

Add heavy cream, vanilla, and salt, beat until desired consistency.

Heat griddle or large skillet over medium heat, lightly grease.

Pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle for each pancake.

Immediately squeeze cinnamon swirl in spiral pattern over batter.

Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on surface.

Carefully flip pancakes and cook 1-2 minutes more until golden.

The cinnamon swirl should caramelize slightly during cooking.

Keep finished pancakes warm in 200°F oven while cooking remaining.

Stack pancakes on serving plates, alternating swirl sides up.

Generously drizzle warm pancakes with cream cheese glaze.

Dust with extra cinnamon and sprinkle with chopped pecans if desired.

Add fresh berries and coarse sugar for extra gourmet presentation.

Serve immediately while pancakes are hot and glaze is creamy.

Offer maple syrup on the side for additional sweetness.

Enjoy this bakery-style breakfast in the comfort of home.
