Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Spanish Churro Pancakes
  1. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk thoroughly.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gently pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Fold until just combined, leaving small lumps.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and spring back when touched.
  7. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl for the topping.
  8. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over warm pancakes right after cooking.
  9. Serve warm with optional toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruits.
