Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour (spooned, leveled and sifted)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon table salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk (room temperature)
- 1 extra large egg (room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons salted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the room temperature milk, egg, melted and cooled butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. Do not over mix; a few lumps are okay for a tender pancake texture.
- Preheat Skillet: Spray a nonstick 10 to 12 inch skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium high heat. It’s ready when a droplet of water sizzles upon contact.
- Cook Pancakes: Spoon 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of batter in a circle shape spaced about 1 inch apart on the skillet. Alternatively, use a piping bag or squeeze bottle for precise sizing.
- Flip Pancakes: Cook for about 1 to 1 ½ minutes until tiny bubbles form and the edges start to set. Flip and cook for another minute until the other side is golden brown.
- Serve: Transfer cooked pancakes to a serving plate and repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with your choice of toppings.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Use room temperature ingredients for best texture.
- You can keep cooked pancakes warm on a low oven while finishing the batch.
- Try adding chocolate chips or blueberries for variation.
- These mini pancakes are perfect for kids and easy to dip in syrups or spreads.
