Orange Sweet Roll Pancakes

Ingredients

  • Filling
  • 4 tablespoons of softened butter
  • 1/4 cup of firmly packed golden brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • Pancakes
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons of sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
  • Zest from one large orange
  • 1 cup of sour cream
  • 1/4 cup of milk
  • 4 tablespoons of melted butter
  • 1 egg lightly beaten

Instructions

  • Start by making the cinnamon filling.
  • Combine softened butter with sugars and cinnamon.
  • Transfer filling to a plastic baggie or pastry bag.
  • To make the pancake batter, add flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and orange zest to a large mixing bowl, and whisk to combine dry ingredients.
  • Then add sour cream, melted and cooled butter, lightly beaten egg, and milk, and stir together.
  • Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to add batter to the hot griddle.
  • Let the pancakes set up on the griddle for about 2 minutes, then add the cinnamon sugar swirl.
  • Snip just a small corner of your cinnamon sugar baggie.
  • Use the baggie like a pastry bag to make a swirl in the pancake.
  • To make the swirl, push the tip of your baggie into the batter, and carefully swirl the mixture into the pancake batter.
  • Once the pancakes are cooked, about 7 minutes on the first side, and 5 on the second side, remove them with a large spatula sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Turn them onto the plate swirl side up.
  • Work quickly when removing the pancakes; once the cinnamon sugar mixture cools on your spatula, the pancakes will start to stick.
  • Before cooking the next batch of pancakes, wipe all cinnamon sugar filling from the griddle and use a new spatula, or clean all the cinnamon and sugar from your spatula so it won’t stick to the new batch.
