Step-by-Step Instructions for Spanish Churro Pancakes
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt until completely combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, blend 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, and gently stir with a spatula until just combined.
  4. While the batter rests, place a non-stick skillet on medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
  5. Once the skillet is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the surface for each pancake, cooking for about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and fluffy.
  7. As soon as the pancakes come off the skillet, generously sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar.
  8. Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm.
