The tanginess of the buttermilk pancakes compliments the sweetness of the cinnamon swirl.

And the brown sugar crips a little and reminds me of the crust on creme brulee. My mouth is watering.

Pair these delicious pancakes with sweet cream cheese icing and I am telling you, it is amazing!

Make sure to serve this with a side of Crispy Oven Bacon and your breakfast will be perfect.
