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
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and flavor.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can result in tough pancakes.
- Heat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, indicating that the bottom is set and ready to flip.
- Flip and Cook: Flip each pancake carefully and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Add Topping: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and immediately sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar so it adheres while still warm.
- Serve and Enjoy: Repeat with the remaining batter and serve the churro pancakes warm for the best taste and texture experience.
Notes
- For extra richness, substitute some of the milk with buttermilk.
- You can make your own cinnamon sugar by mixing 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for easy flipping and even cooking.
- Serve with maple syrup or whipped cream for added indulgence.
