Instructions

📝 Instructions:

Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined.

Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour into dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix—small lumps are fine.

Step 3: Cook Pancakes
Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium. Pour ¼ cup batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook until golden brown.

Step 4: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Brush each warm pancake with melted butter, then gently dip or sprinkle both sides with cinnamon sugar for that signature churro crunch.

Step 5: Serve
Stack and top with whipped cream, dulce de leche, honey, or berries. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

• For extra crisp edges, cook pancakes in butter instead of oil.
• Make them tres leches style by drizzling a milk mixture over warm pancakes.
• Turn leftover batter into churro waffles using a waffle maker.
