Ingredients

Batter Ingredients

  • 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

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to ensure they are evenly mixed.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep pancakes fluffy.
  4. Preheat skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip carefully and cook until the other side is golden brown.
  6. Apply cinnamon sugar: Remove pancakes from the skillet and immediately sprinkle the tops with the cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm so it sticks.
  7. Repeat: Continue cooking and topping with cinnamon sugar until all batter is used.
  8. Serve warm: Serve the pancakes warm for the best texture and flavor, 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 your preferred level of sweetness and spice.
