Description

These Spanish Churro-Inspired Pancakes bring the delightful cinnamon-sugar sweetness of traditional churros to your breakfast plate. Fluffy and aromatic, these pancakes are perfectly topped with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, making for a perfect morning treat that’s easy and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep pancakes fluffy.
  4. Heat Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it using butter or oil.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, indicating readiness to flip.
  6. Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip each pancake carefully and cook until the underside is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.
  7. Apply Topping: Remove pancakes from skillet and immediately sprinkle with cinnamon sugar so it adheres while warm.
  8. Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter in batches, greasing the skillet as needed.
  9. Serve: Serve the churro-inspired pancakes warm for optimal flavor and texture enjoyment.

Notes

  • For extra richness, use whole milk or substitute with almond milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
  • You can toast the cinnamon sugar topping briefly in a dry pan to enhance its aroma before sprinkling.
  • Serve with maple syrup or dipping chocolate for added indulgence.
  • These pancakes can be kept warm in a low oven (200°F) while cooking the rest of the batter.
