Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently just until no large lumps remain—avoid overmixing to keep your pancakes tender and fluffy.
  2. Heat the Pan and Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar coating that will give your pancakes that signature churro-inspired crunch.
  3. Cook the Pancakes: Lightly grease the skillet with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the pancake’s surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Immediately transfer each pancake to a plate and generously sprinkle or dip both sides into the cinnamon sugar mix while warm.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange your Irresistible Spanish Churro Pancakes on a platter, drizzle with your favorite syrup or honey, and prepare to be amazed. The crispy edges combined with the soft center truly make these pancakes unforgettable.

Notes

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Use eggs and milk at room temperature for a smoother batter and fluffier pancakes.
  • Don’t Overmix: Stir until just combined to avoid dense pancakes.
  • Consistent Heat: Keep the skillet on medium heat to ensure pancakes cook evenly without burning.
  • Apply Cinnamon Sugar Warm: Coat your pancakes immediately after cooking to ensure the cinnamon sugar sticks perfectly.
  • Butter Greasing: Use butter instead of oil for greasing for added richness and flavor.
