Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg

- Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; do not overmix.

Notes
For extra churro authenticity, try drizzling your pancakes with warm dulce de leche and sprinkle some chopped nuts for added texture.
