How to Make Spanish Churro Pancakes
Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. Whisk until well blended. Add milk, eggs, and melted butter; stir until just combined.
Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Allow it to warm up properly – you want those pancakes golden brown, not burnt!
Scoop and Cook: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on top and edges look set – about 2-3 minutes.
Flip with Flair: Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden brown and delicious.
Serve Warm: Stack those heavenly pancakes on a plate while they’re hot! Drizzle with chocolate sauce and add whipped cream if desired.
