Serves 6-8
Pancakes
2 Cups Flour
2 Cups Milk
5 Tbsp Butter
2 Tbsp Sugar
5 Eggs, Separated
1/2 Tsp salt
1 Tsp Baking Powder
Cream Cheese Frosting
1/2 Brick Cream cheese (4 oz)
1/2 Stick Butter (4 Tbsp)
1 3/4 Cups Powdered Sugar
4 1/2 Tbsp Milk
Cinnamon Filling
1/2 Cup Sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp Saigon Cinnamon
2 Tbsp Flour
1/4 Tsp salt
1/2 Stick Butter (4 Tbsp)
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 175 degrees with a cookie sheet in the oven.
Using a Kitchen Aid or like tool, whip the butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and milk together until light and fluffy. Slowly combine (so you don’t make a huge mess). You can add a little more milk if needed. Set aside.
Next, let’s make the Saigon Cinnamon filling. Combine all of the ingredients and using a spoon or your finger, mix it together until it forms a paste. Set aside.
This next step may seem intimidating, but it is easy just a little time consuming. In a large bowl mix the dry ingredients together. In the egg yolk bowl, gently whisk the yolks and add the milk and 4 Tbsp butter, melted. Add this to the dry ingredients and combine.
Now you need to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, 3 or 4 minutes and gently fold the egg whites into the batter. This will make you pancakes very fluffy and souffle like.
Heat the pan over medium heat. Add a dollop of butter into each well. Using a spoon, add about a tbsp of batter in each well, top that with a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon mixture and add another tsp of batter on top.
After about 4 minutes, use chop sticks (or Ebelskiver turning tool) and flip over, cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Turn the cooked pancakes out on the warmed cookie sheet and continue this until done. Keeping them warm in the oven.
Serve the pancakes with a drizzle of the fabulous cream cheese frosting!
