Ingredients
Scale
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 25 grams granulated sugar
- 15 grams baking powder
- 3 grams salt
- 240 milliliters whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 28 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 5 milliliters vanilla extract
- 100 grams cinnamon sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly blended.
- In a separate bowl, beat the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is homogenous and smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined, ensuring the batter remains slightly lumpy for optimal fluffiness.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- For each pancake, pour approximately 60 milliliters of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until both sides are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Immediately after removing each pancake from the skillet, liberally coat both sides with cinnamon sugar to evoke traditional churro flavor.
- Continue with the remaining batter. Serve pancakes warm with additional cinnamon sugar or your preferred syrup.
Notes
- For best results, do not overmix the batter.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon sugar based on your taste preference.
- Top with whipped cream or chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
