Method

  1. In a bowl, combine milk and vinegar and set aside for approximately 5 minutes or until the milk sours.

  2. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. Whisk together the egg, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and add it to the milk mixture.

  4. Slowly pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture, whisking constantly until the batter is just moistened and evenly mixed. It's okay if there are lumps.

  5. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, and cinnamon. Place a 1-quart resealable bag into a glass or cup, and pour the cinnamon mixture into the bag. Refrigerate until the filling thickens to the consistency of toothpaste, approximately 10 minutes.

  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together 1/4 cup softened butter and cream cheese. Heat in the microwave for 40 seconds, stirring until smooth. Continue heating and stirring until completely melted. Stir in confectioners' sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until the icing is smooth.

  7. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour about 2/3 cup of the batter into the center of the griddle. Cook the pancake until bubbles start to appear, approximately 2 to 3 minutes
