Description
Irresistible Spanish Churro Pancakes are fluffy pancakes coated in cinnamon sugar and drizzled with chocolate sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Pancakes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- For the Chocolate Sauce
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- While the pancakes are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle with the warm chocolate sauce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Serve with whipped cream for added richness.
