# How-To:
01 - Preheat the 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 together eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix to maintain a tender crumb structure.
05 - Pour the pancake batter evenly into the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it to an even thickness.
06 - In a small bowl, combine melted butter, packed light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon, mixing until the texture resembles wet sand.
07 - Transfer the cinnamon mixture to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe swirls or zig-zag patterns across the surface of the pancake batter.
08 - Using a knife or wooden skewer, gently swirl the cinnamon mixture through the batter in a figure-eight or circular pattern to create a marbled effect.
09 - Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. The surface should be lightly golden.
10 - While the casserole bakes, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Adjust milk quantity as needed to achieve desired consistency.
11 - Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze evenly over the warm casserole.
12 - Slice the casserole into individual portions and serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh berries or chopped pecans.
