Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Prepare Your Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients including flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients—milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract—then slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet until smooth and free of lumps.
- Fill a Squeeze Bottle: Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or piping bag with a small round tip to help create perfectly uniform mini pancakes.
- Heat Your Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Pipe Mini Pancakes: Squeeze out small dots about the size of a nickel, spacing them slightly apart. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then gently flip with a spatula and cook until golden on the other side.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the mini pancakes to a bowl or plate and enjoy immediately with your choice of milk, syrup, or toppings.
Notes
- Use a consistent squeeze bottle to create uniform mini pancakes and speed up cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; too many mini pancakes lower the pan temperature causing uneven cooking.
- Cook at medium heat to ensure pancakes cook through without burning.
- Flip carefully using a thin spatula to avoid breaking the delicate mini pancakes.
- Serve immediately for maximum fluffiness and flavor.
