Instructions
For the hot cakes and the cinnamon sugar filling:
In a large bowl, sift the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon powder. Mix using a hand whisk and then make a well in the center of the flour.
In the center of the bowl add the eggs with the brown sugar, vanilla extract, buttermilk and melted butter. Beat all the ingredients with the same whisk for 1 minute until smooth.
Separately, to make the cinnamon sugar filling, in a medium bowl add the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and 2 tablespoons of the pancake batter. Whisk with a fork until the ingredients are integrated and a slightly thick mixture forms.
Spoon this mixture into a piping bag or ziploc bag.
To cook the hot cakes, place a large skillet over medium heat with a little butter. Once hot, add 1/4 cup of the hot cake mix. Immediately cut the tip off the piping bag with the cinnamon sugar filling with scissors and carefully draw a swirl with it on top of the hot cake, so that it has the shape of a cinnamon roll. Draw it slightly tighter and smaller than desired, as it grows a little.
Cook the hot cake for 2 minutes until the surface is bubbly and slightly fluffy. Turn it over and cook for 1 more minute until it is lightly browned. Once ready, place the hot cake in a serving dish with a lid to keep it warm.
To make the rest of the hot cakes, repeat the same directions until you have approximately 10 pieces and add more butter to the pan as needed to keep them from sticking. The pancakes can be cooked in batches of 2 depending on their size.
For the cheese frosting:
In a medium bowl, add the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and pinch of salt. Beat with a fork for 30 seconds until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract along with the milk and beat a little more until the frosting is smooth and a little thick.
When all the pancakes are ready, serve them decorated with the cheese frosting.
