Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°F and prepare a large sheet pan to keep pancakes warm.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and optional nutmeg or cinnamon.
Add beaten eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract to the bowl, and whisk until just combined. Some lumps are fine; avoid overmixing. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
For the cinnamon swirl, mix brown sugar, melted butter, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Transfer this to a quart-size zip-top bag and set aside.
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat, greasing it with cooking spray or melted butter.
Spoon out 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake. When bubbles form, snip the corner of the cinnamon filling bag and swirl it on top of the pancake.
Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 2 1/2 minutes.
Prepare the cream cheese glaze by melting butter and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Keep pancakes warm in the oven, and repeat cooking process for remaining batter.
Serve a stack of pancakes topped with the cream cheese glaze.

Notes

For fluffier pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter.
Adjust the cinnamon swirl amount based on your preference for sweetness.
To save time, prepare the glaze while the pancakes are cooking.
