Pro Tips for Perfect Cinnamon Roll Pancakes:

1. Don’t Overmix the Batter: Stir until just combined to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
2. Cinnamon Swirl Control: Be gentle when swirling the cinnamon mixture onto the pancakes to avoid spreading too thin.
3. Cook on Medium Heat: Cooking over medium heat ensures the pancakes cook evenly without burning the cinnamon swirl.
4. Flip with Care: Wait until bubbles form on the pancake surface before flipping to avoid a sticky mess.
5. Serve Immediately: These pancakes taste best when served fresh and warm with plenty of cream cheese glaze.

• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 large egg
