How to Make Spanish Churro-Inspired Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 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
• 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar (for topping)

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook until golden brown.
7. Remove from skillet and immediately sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
8. Repeat with the remaining batter.
9. Serve warm and enjoy!

How to Serve Spanish Churro-Inspired Pancakes

Serve these pancakes warm on a plate, topped with more cinnamon sugar or even a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra special treat. Fresh fruit, whipped cream, or maple syrup also pair well and add a nice touch.

How to Store Spanish Churro-Inspired Pancakes

If you have any leftovers, store the pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, you can warm them in a toaster or microwave until heated through.

Tips to Make Spanish Churro-Inspired Pancakes

• Make sure your skillet is the right temperature. If it’s too hot, the pancakes will burn; if it’s too cool, they won’t cook properly.
• You can check the doneness of your pancakes by looking for bubbles on the surface. When they pop, it’s time to flip!
• Customize the cinnamon sugar topping to your liking. Add a pinch of nutmeg or cocoa powder for a different flavor.

Variation

For a healthier version, you can substitute some whole wheat flour for the all-purpose flour. You can also reduce the sugar and serve with fresh fruits instead of cinnamon sugar.
