Description
Delightful mini pancakes made from a simple batter of flour, sugar, baking powder, milk, egg, butter, and vanilla. Perfectly sized for bite-sized breakfast treats, these pancakes are fluffy, golden, and quick to cook on the stovetop.
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 wet and dry: Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. It’s important not to over mix; some lumps are okay to keep the pancakes tender.
- Heat skillet: Spray a nonstick 10 to 12 inch skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium high heat until a droplet of water sizzles on contact.
- Cook pancakes: Spoon 1 to 1½ tablespoons of batter into circles spaced about 1 inch apart on the hot skillet. You can also use a piping bag or squeeze bottle for precise size and shape.
- Flip and finish: Cook pancakes for about 1 to 1½ minutes, until tiny bubbles form on the surface and edges start to set. Flip and cook for another 1 minute, until golden brown on the bottom. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
Notes
- Do not over mix the batter to avoid tough pancakes; lumps are fine.
- Use a nonstick skillet or well-seasoned pan for easy flipping.
- Keeping the butter melted but cooled prevents cooked eggs in the batter.
- Room temperature ingredients help the batter mix evenly and produce tender pancakes.
- Use a piping bag for uniform mini pancake sizes for serving at parties or with kids.
