Ingredients
Scale
Pancakes
- 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
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent and flavors.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly until smooth.
- Make batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix to avoid tough pancakes.
- Preheat skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading slightly if necessary.
- Flip pancakes: Cook until bubbles form on the surface, indicating readiness to flip, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Add cinnamon sugar topping: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and immediately sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar to mimic the churro flavor.
- Repeat: Repeat the cooking and topping process with the remaining batter.
- Serve: Serve the cinnamon sugar-coated pancakes warm for the best taste and texture experience.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Use fresh cinnamon sugar for the best flavor impact.
- Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning the pancakes.
- Butter or oil can be used to grease the skillet.
- For extra churro crunch, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on both sides after flipping.
