How to Store Spanish Churro-Inspired Pancakes

Tips to Make Spanish Churro-Inspired Pancakes

• Make sure to not over-mix the batter; it should be just combined for fluffier pancakes.
• Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the pancakes.
• If you want bigger pancakes, use 1/3 cup of batter instead of 1/4 cup.

Variation

You can add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for a different flavor. For a more festive touch, try adding some orange zest to the batter for a citrusy twist.

FAQs

1. Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter a few hours in advance. Just cover it and keep it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook the pancakes.

2. Can I freeze the pancakes?
Absolutely! Cool the pancakes fully, then place parchment paper between them and freeze in a freezer-safe bag. They can be reheated in the microwave or on the stove.

3. How can I make the pancakes healthier?
You can use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour and reduce the sugar slightly. Adding mashed bananas can also enhance flavor and nutrition!
