Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for the pan)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Toppings:

  • Fresh berries
  • Maple syrup
  • Chocolate chips
  • Powdered sugar
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl until evenly combined.
  2. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Bring It Together: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy.
  4. Prepare the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Drop small scoops (1–2 tablespoons) of batter onto the pan. Cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbles appear, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  6. Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
 

Notes

  • For dairy-free pancakes, use almond or oat milk and a dairy-free butter substitute.
  • These mini pancakes can be frozen and reheated for a quick breakfast. Lay them flat on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag.
  • Experiment with savory toppings like bacon bits, shredded cheese, or fresh herbs for a unique twist.
