Instructions:
- Step 1: Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar. In a small bowl, combine the 4 tablespoons of sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside for sprinkling on the pancakes later.
- Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, heaped baking powder, sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Step 4: Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Step 5: Fold in the Chocolate. Gently fold in the chocolate chips or buttons, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Step 6: Heat the Skillet. Preheat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If necessary, lightly grease with a bit of butter or cooking spray.
- Step 7: Cook the Pancakes. Using a ladle, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
- Step 8: Coat the Pancakes. As soon as you remove the pancakes from the skillet, toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat them evenly.
- Step 9: Serve. Serve warm, stacked high, and drizzled with additional melted chocolate or your favorite syrup. Enjoy your delightful Chocolate Stuffed Churro Pancakes!
Notes
- For extra chocolate goodness, consider adding more chocolate chips or a chocolate sauce drizzle on top.
- If you prefer a less sweet pancake, reduce the sugar in the batter to suit your taste.
- These pancakes are best served immediately but can be kept warm in a low oven if needed.
