Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes & Cream Cheese Topping

I saw a picture of cinnamon swirl pancakes on Pinterest and was inspired to create them, even though I couldn't find a recipe link. Here's what I came up with.

Pancakes
1 1/2 c. Flour
3 1/2 t. Baking Powder
1 t. Salt
2 T. White Sugar
1 1/4 c. Milk
1 Egg
3 T. Butter, melted

Swirl
2 t. Cinnamon
2 T. Sugar
5 T. Melted Butter

In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center and add the remaining ingredients. Mix until smooth. In a small bowl, mix together more melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium high heat. Pour batter, then use a spoon to add a swirl of cinnamon mixture to each pancake. Brown on both sides.

Topping
1/2 package Cream Cheese
1 c. Whipping Cream
1 T. Maple Syrup

Mix together, drizzle onto pancakes.

There may be more yellow than blue in this photo, but the bench stood out to me after the city officials gave them a coat of fresh paint for election year.

A shockingly sunny morning lasted just long enough to capture this shot in the movie theater facade before the cold and rain came back and the heavy coat went back on.

Not my front door, but somebody's. I love it, and someday I want big wooden doors with a stone arch over them.

Sorry, this might have ruined your dinner. But someone will be throwing these goats on the spit for their dinner tonight.

Even though it looks like this lady didn't know I was taking her photo, she actually offered herself for a photo while I was photographing her spices today. She managed to look very busy in her posed shot.
