It's a bold statement, but these truly are The Best Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. My favorite pancake batter is enhanced with a cinnamon-sugar swirl for gooey cinnamon roll vibes in every bite.
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. Use a hand mixer, or a really strong arm and a whisk, to beat until completely mixed.
In the microwave or on the stove, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Set aside to cool. Then combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt in a large bowl.
