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
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip Pancakes: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2 minutes more.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar: Remove each pancake from the skillet and immediately sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar to evoke churro flavors.
- Serve: Repeat with remaining batter, serving the pancakes warm for best texture and taste. Enjoy your churro-inspired breakfast delight!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, cook the pancakes a little longer on each side before flipping.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon sugar topping to your personal preference for sweetness and spice.
