Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup (180 ml) milk
Leavening Agents:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
Flavor Enhancers and Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings:
- Syrup
- Fresh berries
- Whipped cream
- Powdered sugar
- Chocolate chips
Instructions
- Craft the foundation by blending dry ingredients in a mixing vessel, combining flour, sugar, leavening agents, and salt. Create a separate mixture of liquid components including milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Merge wet and dry mixtures gently, stirring until just incorporated. Allow slight textural irregularities to remain in the batter, avoiding excessive manipulation.
- Warm a non-stick cooking surface over moderate heat, lightly conditioning the pan with a thin butter coating or culinary spray to prevent adherence.
- Utilize a compact measuring tool to deposit miniature batter portions onto the heated surface, forming petite circular shapes approximately 1-2 inches wide.
- Monitor the mini pancakes attentively, observing the emergence of delicate bubbles across the surface and detecting firming around the perimeter. This signals the optimal moment for transformation.
- Execute a precise flip, revealing a golden-hued underside. Continue cooking for an additional minute to achieve uniform caramelization and complete internal cooking.
- Progressively transfer the diminutive pancakes to a serving platter, maintaining warmth throughout the preparation process.
- Embellish with preferred accompaniments such as maple syrup, powdered sugar dusting, seasonal fruit garnishes, or cloud-like whipped cream for a delectable presentation.
Notes
- Prevent overmixing the batter to maintain a light, fluffy texture by gently folding wet and dry ingredients until just combined, leaving small lumps intact.
- Use a teaspoon or small cookie scoop for perfectly uniform mini pancakes, ensuring consistent cooking and adorable bite-sized results.
- Create gluten-free versions by substituting all-purpose flour with almond or oat flour, maintaining the same delightful texture and flavor profile.
- Enhance nutritional value by incorporating mashed bananas, chia seeds, or protein powder into the batter for a more balanced breakfast treat.
