Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Heat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip Pancakes: Flip each pancake carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2 minutes more.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar: Remove pancakes from the skillet and immediately sprinkle the top generously with cinnamon sugar to mimic the churro flavor.
- Repeat & Serve: Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, topping each pancake with cinnamon sugar. Serve warm and enjoy this delicious Spanish-inspired breakfast treat!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, cook the pancakes a little longer on each side until they reach your desired texture.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon sugar topping to your taste preference for sweetness and cinnamon intensity.
- You can use a non-stick spray or butter to grease the skillet for best results.
- Serve these pancakes with maple syrup or a drizzle of honey if you want an additional sweetness layer.
