Making fluffy mini pancakes is a delightful and easy breakfast or brunch option. Here’s a recipe to create these adorable and tasty treats:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing the pan
Instructions:
- Preheat the Griddle or Pan:
- Preheat a griddle or non-stick frying pan over medium heat. If using a griddle, set it to around 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat the Pan:
- Grease the griddle or pan with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
- Spoon Batter onto the Griddle:
- Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop portions of batter onto the hot griddle, forming mini pancakes. Make them about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter.
- Cook Until Bubbles Form:
- Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface of the pancakes, and the edges look set. This usually takes 1-2 minutes.
- Flip and Cook the Other Side:
- Carefully flip each pancake with a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Repeat:
- Continue the process until you’ve used all the batter, placing the cooked mini pancakes on a plate and covering them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
- Serve:
- Serve the fluffy mini pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
These fluffy mini pancakes are perfect for a fun and tasty breakfast or brunch. Feel free to get creative with toppings and enjoy this delightful treat!
