Description

Enjoy a delightful twist on traditional pancakes with these Spanish Churro-Inspired Pancakes. Fluffy and golden, these pancakes are infused with classic churro flavors through a dusting of cinnamon sugar, making for a sweet and comforting breakfast treat that’s quick and easy 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 (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined to create the pancake base.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly to blend the liquids.
  3. Mix Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  4. Heat Skillet: Preheat 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 carefully flip and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Apply Topping: Remove cooked pancakes from the skillet and immediately sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar, allowing it to adhere while warm.
  7. Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter in the same manner, greasing the skillet as needed.
  8. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm for the best taste and texture. Enjoy your churro-inspired breakfast delight!

Notes

  • For extra churro authenticity, consider serving with a side of warm chocolate sauce or dulce de leche for dipping.
  • Adjust the cinnamon sugar quantity based on your sweetness preference.
  • If the batter thickens too much while waiting, add a splash of milk to loosen it.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for easy flipping and golden crust.
  • These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
