# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix to maintain fluffy texture.
05 - Pour pancake batter evenly into the prepared 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading to create uniform thickness.
06 - In a small bowl, combine melted butter, packed brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well mixed.
07 - Transfer cinnamon mixture to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe swirls or zig-zag patterns evenly across the pancake batter.
08 - Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter in a figure-eight or decorative pattern.
09 - Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
10 - While casserole bakes, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and pourable. Add additional milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
11 - Remove casserole from oven and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Drizzle cream cheese glaze over warm casserole.
12 - Slice into portions and serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh berries or chopped pecans.
