Notes

1. The key to making these pancakes nice and fluffy is beating 2 eggs whites together. Therefore this is a critical step to ensure the pancakes turn out thick and fluffy.
2. How do freeze these Churro Pancakes?
   Place a sheet of parchment or wax paper between each pancake and stack together.  Place pancakes inside an air tight container or heavy-duty freezer bag. Freeze for up to 1 to 2 months for best quality.
