Cooking Directions

  • Heat your skillet and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Scoop about 1/3 c of batter onto the skillet, making a circle about 4 inches in diameter.
  • When your pancakes start to bubble, it is time to add the cinnamon filling. Squeeze the filling out of the bag and swirl it in a circular fashion starting in the center and swirling to the edges.
