In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
-
Transfer the mixture to a squeeze bottle or a plastic bag with a small corner snipped off for easy swirling.
For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
- In a bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and enough milk to achieve a pourable consistency. Set aside.

-
Once the pancake starts to bubble on top, flip it and cook the other side until golden brown.
-
Remove the pancake from the griddle and repeat with the remaining batter.
To Serve:
