Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Ingredients:

Cinnamon Sugar Filling:

• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Pancakes:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sour cream 
• 1/4 cup milk
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 egg

Instructions:
Cinnamon Sugar Filling:
Melt the butter and put into a mixing bowl. Add both sugars and the cinnamon, stir. Put a plastic zip lock bag over the top of a cup and pour the cinnamon sugar filling in. Zip the bag shut and let cool.
Pancakes:
Whisk together all the dry ingredients; flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the sour cream, melted and cooled butter, egg, and milk to the dry ingredients and mix together. Batter will be nice and thick, don't add extra liquid to thin it out.
Set Up:
Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup a tiny bit less than full and start pouring pancake batter onto a heated pan or griddle. Let the pancakes set and cook on the griddle for about 2 minutes. When the surface of the pancake is slightly liquidy it is time to swirl on the cinnamon sugar filling. Cut off a small corner of the zip lock bag containing the cinnamon sugar filling. To make the swirl properly push the tip of you zip lock baggy into the pancake, and carefully swirl the cinnamon sugar filling into the pancake batter.

• Hint:  Don't just swirl the cinnamon sugar filling on top it will cook off, make sure the filling gets in the batter to make the cinnamon roll look. 
• Hint: Also when swirling don't swirl the cinnamon sugar filling to close to the edge of the pancake or it will slip off. 

When the under side of the pancakes are golden brown flip the pancakes to the other side.You will see a bit of the filling coming out around the sides… that's normal. Once both sides of the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes are cooked remove them with a large spatula sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Place them swirl side up!

• Hint: Clean off griddle and spatula after each batch of Cinnamon Roll Pancakes so they don't stick.

If desired use maple syrup or no syrup at all!
