Step 1

1. To make the Filling In a medium bowl, stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon and melted butter. Set aside.

Step 2

2. To make the Glaze Place the butter in a small saucepan and heat over low heat to melt it. Remove from the heat and add the cream cheese. Stir until the mixture is smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar and mix until smooth. Add the vanilla and mix well. To thin the glaze out and make it more spreadable, add 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream and stir well. If it's still very thick add another tablespoon or two and stir. Set aside.

Step 3

3. To make the Pancakes Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg and oil, then pour into the flour mixture and stir until the batter is just barely combined--it's fine if it's a bit lumpy.

Step 4

4. Spray a large skillet with nonstick baking spray and and heat over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, ladle or pour about 1/3 cup of the batter onto the pan (I cooked 4 at a time).

Step 5

5. After the pancakes have been cooking for about 1 minute, give the brown sugar/cinnamon filling a little stir and drizzle a small amount over the top of each pancake in a swirly motion. Let the pancake cook for another 2-3 minutes, until you start to see bubbles on the surface and the bottoms are golden and set. Then flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the pancakes are soft and pillowy. Place 1 pancake on each of the 4 plates. Clean out the pan with a paper towel and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 6

6. Quickly spread a layer of the glaze over the top of each of the pancakes--you want it to get all melty and gooey. As soon as the second batch of pancakes is ready, top the glazed pancakes with another pancake and top that with more glaze. Serve immediately.
