Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over low heat and apply a thin layer of non-stick cooking spray. Pour approximately 120 millilitres of pancake batter onto the heated surface. Snip a small corner off the cinnamon filling bag and pipe a spiral onto each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, carefully flip, and continue cooking 1–2 minutes until golden underneath. Transfer cooked pancakes to a baking tray and keep warm.
