Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

• 1 ½ cups self-raising flour
• 1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ⅓ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 ¼ cups milk
• ½ cup chocolate chips or buttons

For the Cinnamon Sugar:

• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour, baking powder, sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Create a well in the center for the wet ingredients. 🥣
2. Add Wet Ingredients Pour the melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and milk into the well. Slowly whisk the mixture until smooth and well combined. Set the batter aside. 🥄
3. Cook the Pancakes Melt a small amount of butter in a nonstick pan over low-medium heat. Pour less than ¼ cup of batter onto the pan, spreading it gently with the back of a ladle. Drop a few chocolate chips or buttons onto the center of the batter, then cover with a small amount of additional pancake batter to ensure the chocolate is fully enclosed. 🍫
4. Flip and Finish Cooking Cook until the underside is golden brown. Gently flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden. Note that bubbles will not form on the surface as with regular pancakes, so check the edges before flipping. Repeat this process with the remaining batter and chocolate chips. 🔄
5. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar Prepare a wide, shallow dish with the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Immediately place each pancake onto the cinnamon sugar while still warm, coating both sides evenly. Transfer to a serving dish. 🍽️
6. Serve and Enjoy Serve your Chocolate Stuffed Churro Pancakes with fresh fruit, ice cream, or frozen yogurt. Or, simply enjoy them on their own for a decadent breakfast delight. 🍓🍦
