Ingredients
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.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to ensure fluffy pancakes.
- 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 skillet for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, indicating readiness to flip.
- Flip Pancakes: Flip and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through, about 1-2 minutes more.
- Add Topping: Remove the cooked pancake from the skillet and immediately sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar to mimic the churro flavor.
- Repeat: Repeat the process with the remaining batter, ensuring each pancake is cooked evenly and topped while warm.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm and enjoy your Spanish churro-inspired breakfast delight!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, cook pancakes a little longer on each side.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon sugar to taste for desired sweetness and spice level.
