Spanish Churro-Inspired Pancakes
A delightful fusion of pancakes and churros, coated in cinnamon sugar for a comforting and indulgent breakfast experience.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour The base for our fluffy pancakes.
- 2 tablespoons sugar To add a touch of sweetness.
- 1 tablespoon baking powder This ingredient ensures our pancakes rise beautifully.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Balance is key, enhancing the flavors.
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk Creamy and rich, contributing to the batter's moistness.
- 1 large egg This binds the ingredients and adds richness.
- 2 tablespoons melted butter For that buttery flavor and tender texture.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract A fragrant note that rounds out the sweetness.
Toppings
- 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar The pièce de résistance that brings the churro inspiration to life.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir gently until just combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease it with butter or oil.
Cooking
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until the underside is golden brown.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar.
- Continue with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serving
- Stack and enjoy with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
For best results, avoid overmixing the batter for fluffier pancakes. Serve warm with additional toppings like fresh berries, whipped cream, or honey.
