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 all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined to ensure even rising and flavor distribution.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to create a smooth, uniform mixture that will add moisture and flavor to the batter.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes tender and fluffy.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip Pancakes: Carefully flip each pancake and cook the other side until golden brown, approximately another 1-2 minutes.
- Add Topping: Remove the cooked pancakes from the skillet and immediately sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar to give them the signature churro flavor and a sweet, crunchy texture.
- Repeat Cooking: Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed to prevent sticking and maintain consistent cooking results.
- Serve: Serve the cinnamon sugar-topped pancakes warm for the best taste experience and enjoy a delicious Spanish churro-inspired breakfast treat.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for easy flipping and perfect golden pancakes.
- For extra richness, substitute whole milk or add a touch more melted butter.
- Adjust cinnamon sugar topping amount to your liking for sweetness and cinnamon intensity.
- Serve with maple syrup or whipped cream for added indulgence.
- Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in a toaster or skillet.
