How to Make Churro Pancakes
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Pancake Mix (plus the ingredients the mix calls for)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cinnamon
- Oil
- 1/2 of a 14 oz can of condensed Milk
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Step-by-Step Directions
Start by preparing your pancake mix as instructed on the box. Heat up your skillet and pour about 3/4 cup of batter onto a hot and greased skillet. Once the top of your pancake begins to bubble, flip it, and finish cooking until both sides are golden. Once you have a generous stack of pancakes made, place about 1/4 inch of oil into the bottom of your skillet. In a large bowl, place your cinnamon and sugar and mix well. Place your prepared pancake into the hot oil and fry on each side; it takes less than 30 seconds. Pull from the hot oil immediately and place into your cinnamon and sugar mixture. Coat each side of your pancake well. In a microwave-safe bowl, place your condensed milk and chocolate chips. Microwave at 30-second intervals until completely melted and smooth. Stir after each interval. Pour melted chocolate over your stack of pancakes. Serve and enjoy!
