Spanish Churro-Inspired Pancakes: A Breakfast Delight! A Culinary Fusion That Will Transform Your Mornings

These pancakes bring all the magic of Spanish churros straight to your breakfast table—crispy edges, fluffy centers, and a sweet cinnamon-sugar finish. Ready in just 30 minutes, they’re simple, cozy, and perfect for a weekend treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 1 tbsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tbsp melted butter

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ cup cinnamon sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  2. Mix the wet ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, combine milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

  3. Combine:
    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined—small lumps are okay.

  4. Cook the pancakes:
    Heat a lightly greased non-stick skillet over medium heat.
    Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.
    Cook until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook until golden.

  5. Churro finish:
    Remove each pancake and immediately sprinkle with cinnamon sugar so it sticks perfectly.

  6. Repeat:
    Continue until all batter is used.

  7. Serve:
    Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • Crispier edges: Cook each side a little longer for a churro-like crunch.

  • Make it sweeter: Add extra cinnamon sugar or serve with warm chocolate sauce.

  • Fluffier pancakes: Don’t overmix the batter—stop as soon as the dry spots disappear.
