Can I make Spanish churro pancakes without eggs?

Yes. Use a flax egg or a store bought egg replacer. The texture will be slightly softer, but the coating helps a lot.

Why is my cinnamon sugar not sticking?

Most likely the pancakes cooled too much or you did not butter them before coating. Brush with melted butter while warm, then press into the mix.

Can I use pancake mix instead of making batter from scratch?

You can. Add a little cinnamon and vanilla to the mix for better flavor, then do the butter and cinnamon sugar coating the same way.

How do I keep them warm for a crowd?

Place coated pancakes on a baking sheet in a low oven around 200 F. Do not cover tightly or they will steam and lose crunch.

What is the best topping for kids?

Chocolate drizzle or a little whipped cream usually wins. You can also do sliced bananas to keep it simple.

Instructions

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until combined. A few small lumps are fine; do not overmix.
Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

Cooking

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly butter it.
Scoop the batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on top and edges look set, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Brush each warm pancake with melted butter, then press into the cinnamon sugar mixture on both sides.

Serving

Stack the pancakes and serve warm, optionally with toppings like chocolate drizzle, dulce de leche, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.

Notes

For extra fluffiness, ensure your baking powder is fresh. Coat pancakes while warm for best results. Toppings can vary based on preference, and the recipe is adaptable for vegan and gluten-free diets.
