Tortitas americanas rellenas de chocolate estilo churro

Ingredientes

• 1 1/2 cups self raising flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder (heaped)
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/3 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter (melted and cooled slightly)
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (or buttons)
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparación

1. 1

   Combine together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a large-sized bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the melted butter, egg, vanilla and milk. Slowly whisk well until smooth. Set aside.

2. 2

   Melt a small amount of butter in a nonstick pan over low-medium heat. Pour less than 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently with the back of your ladle. Drop chocolate chips/buttons onto the centre of the batter, and then gently pour a little pancake batter evenly over the top to cover completely.

3. 3

   When the underside is golden, gently flip and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter and chocolate chips. (Please note: no bubbles will form on top like normal pancakes, so check the corners before flipping).

4. 4

   Prepare a wide shallow dish with the cinnamon and sugar. Immediately place each pancake onto the cinnamon sugar while they're still warm. Evenly coat both sides and place onto a serving dish.

5. 5

   Serve with fruit, ice cream or frozen yoghurt, or enjoy as they are.
