Preparation:
1. Prep the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
2. Create the Swirl: In a small bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
3. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle. Top with a dollop of the cinnamon mixture and swirl it into the batter with a toothpick or knife. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
