Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 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
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Preheat skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease the surface with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges begin to set, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and finish cooking: Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Add topping: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and immediately sprinkle them generously with the cinnamon sugar to evoke the classic churro flavor.
- Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter in the same manner, greasing the skillet as needed to prevent sticking.
- Serve: Serve the warm churro-inspired pancakes fresh, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch treat.
Notes
- For an extra indulgent touch, serve with a drizzle of melted chocolate or caramel sauce.
- You can substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
- If desired, add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the batter for enhanced spice flavor.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for best results in cooking to prevent burning and sticking.
