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 to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning for a balanced pancake batter.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to blend the liquids and flavorings smoothly.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to ensure tender pancakes.
- Heat Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the preheated skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set, indicating readiness to flip.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip each pancake and cook until the other side is golden brown and the pancakes are cooked through.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Remove pancakes from the skillet and immediately sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar to give the signature churro flavor and sweet crunch.
- Repeat: Continue cooking with the remaining batter, repeating the greasing and cooking process as needed until all pancakes are done.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter; lumps are okay.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for easy flipping and uniform cooking.
- Adjust the cinnamon sugar to taste for desired sweetness and spice levels.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
- Optional: Add a drizzle of chocolate sauce or caramel for an indulgent twist.
