breakfast anyone?

 
Over the past few months, I've run across this recipe several times.  I put it aside and said, "These are a must try!"  A few days ago, I tried.  They are work.  No question.  Three different parts of the recipe.  A piping tool required.  The glaze.  And cooking them is a pain because they are such a sticky mess.  BUT.  OH MY HECK.  TRY THEM!  They are worth every bother!  I figured that it took half an hour to prep everything before I even started pouring the batter on the griddle.  Get everything ready first and then begin the process.  Oh!  And DOUBLE the recipe, for sure!  They are divine!  I think I actually prefer them to cinnamon rolls!  Here's the recipe:

 

 

PANCAKES:

2 cups flour

4 tsp. baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 cup milk

2 Tablespoon oil

2 large eggs

 

CINNAMON FILLING:
1cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp. cinnamon

CREAM CHEESE GLAZE:

4 Tablespoons butter
2 ounces cream cheese
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

 

For the pancake batter: Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the milk, oil and egg, Whisk until the batter is moistened, but it will still be a bit lumpy.

  In a separate bowl, melt the butter and add the brown sugar and cinnamon. Scoop the filling into a small zip baggie and set aside. (A perfect time to use the Pampered Chef little decorating tube.)   This will be a thick pasty consistency.  Do not make it runny or it will be a mess!

Soften the butter and cream cheese until almost melted in the microwave. Mix until smooth and stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla.  Set aside.

 

Here's how to make them.  Heat the skillet or griddle to a medium temp. Spray with Pam or butter the griddle. Scoop about 1/2 cup of batter onto the griddle. Snip off the corner of your Ziploc of filling and squeeze a spiral of the filling on the top of the pancake. After about five bubble on the pancake appear, flip the pancake with a thin spatula.  Cook until golden brown.   The brownsugar mix will make little "grooves" in the pancake.  You can keep the pancakes in a warm oven until ready to serve.

Drizzle the warm glaze onto the top of each pancake just before serving.  Enjoy!

Try them this weekend!  You won't regret it!  Well... except for the fact that you'll be asked to make them again and again!

A few other things:

• After hours of technical support and the purchase of a new modem, then sleeping on it... I woke up to internet.  I also found out that a neighbor didn't have internet last night, so it sounds like it was a problem in the area, not my modem.  I'm just happy to have the internet!
• Kelly's having more issues with her "enhancements".  I'm to the point of not praying that they get better but that she gets rid of them.  This is one prayer that I have little faith to be answered.  She still thinks it will all be worth it when she's done.
• Liza's last day at the bank is today.  Enough said about that.  Five more days.
• A fun Corbridge Reunion ahead this weekend.  We're so excited for every second of it!  Details next week!
• My dad can't stop planning!  I'm so excited for Liza and I to head to NC!  We're going to the ocean!  I've not been to Myrtle Beach since I was a little girl!  Woohooo!
• It's thundering and lightning fiercely outside right now.  I love the rainy nights!  Bring it on!
• It's the weekend!  Happiness!  Try those pancakes!

Our goal should be to achieve joy!
