Yeah, you read that right…cinnamon swirl pancakes! I can’t even begin to tell you how I stumbled upon this little gem.  One night I was wondering around blogosphere.  Just bouncing from here to there, looking for things that caught my eye.

And then, I found it.  Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes. My mouth started watering almost instantly!

Oh….my….gosh!  These are so unbelievably good!   They taste just like a grilled cinnamon roll!  I used my great-grandmother’s pancake recipe for the batter and they turned out fantastic!

I like to make pancakes on an electric griddle, like this one..  I find that I can make the more quickly this way and the heat is more even.

I used a pastry bag fitted with a medium tip to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the pancakes.  It’s really quite simple.

    I made the pancakes and loved them. Because there’s only two of us I cut the cinnamon swirl recipe in half, but I ended up with half of it left over. I saved it and later added it to some flour, oatmeal and chopped walnuts for a topping for an apple crisp. It worked wonderfully for both purposes. – Margy
