Description
Delicious pancakes inspired by churros, featuring fluffy texture and a sweet cinnamon sugar topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (about 125 g)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk (240 ml)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (about 28 g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined—small lumps are fine. Avoid overmixing.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form (about 2–3 minutes), then flip and cook until golden brown (1–2 minutes).
- Remove pancakes to a plate and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar while warm.
- Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Resting the batter for 5-10 minutes improves texture. Can easily be made vegan or lower sugar.
