Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined to ensure an even distribution of leavening agents and flavors.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth, creating the flavorful base for the batter.
  3. Form the Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  4. Preheat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip Pancakes: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through, about another 1-2 minutes.
  7. Add Cinnamon Sugar: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and immediately sprinkle the tops generously with cinnamon sugar to create the signature churro flavor while they’re warm.
  8. Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter using the same method, greasing the skillet as needed to prevent sticking.
  9. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with additional toppings like maple syrup or whipped cream if desired, and enjoy your sweet twist on a classic breakfast.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes tender and fluffy.
  • Use fresh cinnamon sugar topping for the best flavor impact.
  • Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring pancakes cook through.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use vegan butter.
  • Pancakes are best served immediately to enjoy the cinnamon sugar topping’s texture and taste.
