THE BEST CHURRO PANCAKES
There are good pancakes, there are really good pancakes, and then there are these cinnamon sugar pancakes.
So, think about the best pancakes you've ever had, and then think about a delicious churro - now combine the two - that's what you get in this churro pancake recipe.
These pancakes are crazy thick and perfectly soft, topped off with cinnamon sugar that melts on the top of each pancake and in your mouth.

And I have a few secret touches that make these pancakes explode with cinnamon brown sugar flavor.
Now, I might be biased, but I think these taste so much better than the churro pancakes from IHOP. Not to mention, they are beyond easy to make, take just 10 minutes, and turn out perfect every time.
And don't be surprised if you serve these to your friends and family and they beg you for the recipe. But these cinnamon sugar pancakes are easily one of the best breakfast recipes out there, so they deserve to be shared!
Oh, and if you love churros, you need to make these churro cheesecake bars next!

HOW TO MAKE CHURRO PANCAKES
I know you're probably dying to eat these pancakes, so let's get to the good stuff.
Get out all of your ingredients and a large pan. Or, if you want to cook all your pancakes at once, you can take out a griddle if you have one.
And this recipe will make 4 large pancakes, so if you want more to treat your entire family to this deliciousness, just double or triple the recipe!
Now let's make some pancakes!

Step 1: Making The Batter
First, put your 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon in a small bowl, mix them to combine, and then set aside for later.
Now get out a large bowl and add in your dry ingredients. That will be your flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder. Then, you can give everything a good whisk until combined.
Next, make a well in the center of your dry ingredient mixture. Then add your egg, milk, and yogurt to the well and whisk everything until just combined.
A pro tip here is only to whisk until a batter just forms - you do not want to keep mixing after this happens.

Step 2: Cooking The Pancakes
Now either put a large pan over medium-high heat or turn your skillet to medium-high heat. Then melt about 1 tablespoon of butter or enough to cover your cooking surface.
Next, spoon about ΒΌ cup of batter onto your surface to make one pancake.
You will want to cook your pancake until bubbles first start to appear on the surface, then flip your pancake over and cook for 1 more minute.

Then once your pancake is cooked, remove it from your pan and immediately sprinkle the top with your cinnamon-sugar mixture. And after you cook each pancake, stack it on top of the other ones to melt the cinnamon sugar.
Finally, dig in and enjoy!

How To Store Pancakes
Although these pancakes taste incredible hot off the pan, they are pretty darn good leftover too.
If you happen to have pancakes that didn't get eaten - which is a very slim chance - you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Then just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up.
Or my favorite way to store them - you can freeze your pancakes for up to 3 months. Just put your cooled pancakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in the freezer until they're frozen, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag.
Then to reheat your frozen pancakes, you can either put them in the toaster oven or in the microwave.
And if you have any more questions on storing/reheating your pancakes just click here. Better Homes & Garden put together a fantastic guide about how to do it.

This made small, maybe 3-inch, pancakes with sweet flavors. The only change I would make is to add some vanilla. I had a bit of cinnamon sugar left over but that is useful for extra dustings. Overall, this was a good recipe I would make again.
