tom and i love breakfast.  we regularly eat it for dinner and call it “brunner”.  well, maybe i just call it brunner.  this is a very unique combination of two of my favorite breakfast components, cinnamon rolls and pancakes.  they’ve very rich and definitely remind me of cinnamon stuffed pancakes from bob evans.  they take a bit more work than regular pancakes, but are well worth the effort!

  • 1/4 c butter, melted
  • 1/2 c brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp butter, at room temp
  • 2 oz. cream cheese, at room temp
  • 3/4 c powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 c flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 c buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • pam, for your griddle
  1. in a small ziploc baggie, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.  pour in melted butter and mix well.  the original recipe calls for a toothpaste mixture, but i think a bit more liquidy would be best.  it drizzles more and you will not get the “morse code” effect that is shown in step 4 below.
  2. in a medium, microwave safe bowl, melt the butter and cream cheese until melted.  whisk together with a fork until smooth.  whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla, set aside.

  3. make the pancake batter.  combine flour, baking powder and salt.   whisk in buttermilk, oil and the egg.
  4. the trick is to cook these pancakes low and slow.  cover your pan with pam.  i made larger pancakes, you can also make smaller pancakes.  cut a corner of your ziploc baggie, large enough to drizzle the cinnamon mixture on the pancakes in a circular pattern.



    flip your pancakes when bubbles appear at the top.  finish cooking the pancakes and keep warm until ready to serve.
  5. top with cream cheese glaze before serving.  wash them down with a nice cold glass of milk!
enjoy!

this recipe would qualify as “semi-homemade”.  however, when you’re hungry for breakfast in the morning, i think the quicker the prep time, the better.  :)

  1. preheat oven to temperature indicated on croissant packaging.
  2. chop apples in apple filling down to small pieces.
  3. spoon 1 tbsp of apples onto the wide end of the croissant. sprinkle with cinnamon. roll up to the small end.
  4. place on a non-stick baking sheet.
  5. bake as the croissant packing calls for, or until golden brown on the edges.
  6. while croissants are baking, prepare a small serving of frosting.
  7. when croissants are finished baking, remove from oven and place on a plate.  frost croissants as desired.

enjoy!
