• Makes 12 pancakes
• Takes 30 mins
• 178 calories / serving
• Vegetarian

Ingredients

• 200g self-raising flour
• 1½ tsp baking powder?
• 1½ tsp cinnamon
• 1½ tbsp caster sugar?
• 200ml milk
• 3 large eggs
• 20g melted butter
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

For the cinnamon swirl

• 3 tbsp light brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 3 tbsp pancake mix
• 4 tbsp cream cheese
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 3 tbsp icing sugar

Method

Sift together the flour, baking powder and cinnamon, then stir in the sugar. Mix to combine, then make a well in the middle. Crack the eggs in and add the milk. Whisk until you have a smooth batter. Whisk in the melted butter and set aside.

To make the cinnamon swirl, stir the brown sugar into 3 tbsp of the pancake mix along with the cinnamon. Pour into a piping bag.

Heat the oil in a nonstick frying pan over a medium-high heat and add 2 heaped tbsp of the batter to the pan. Snip the corner off your piping bag and draw a swirl on top of the batter.

Cook for 2 mins, or until bubbles start to form, then flip over and cook for 1-2 mins more until light golden brown. Repeat to make 12 pancakes.

To make the icing, carefully mix together the milk and cream cheese, then microwave for 10-20 secs until gently warmed and melted. Mix until smooth, then stir in the vanilla extract and icing sugar and beat until smooth.

You might need to warm it again so it’s pourable and smooth, then drizzle over the pancakes to serve.
