Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

3/4 cup whole milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

Milk
Maple syrup
Honey
Fresh berries

Instructions

Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk gently until just combined; small lumps are acceptable to avoid overmixing and ensure tender pancakes.
Prepare for piping: Transfer the batter into a squeeze bottle, piping bag, or resealable plastic bag with a small corner cut off to allow for controlled dispensing onto the cooking surface.
Heat skillet and grease: Warm a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
Pipe pancake bites: Squeeze small dots of batter about the size of a nickel onto the skillet, spacing them slightly apart to allow for cooking without merging.
Cook and flip: Cook the pancake bites for 1 to 2 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and edges set. Flip each bite carefully and cook an additional 30 to 60 seconds until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat cooking: Transfer cooked pancake bites to a plate and continue cooking the remaining batter in batches, adjusting heat as needed.
Serve warm: Serve the mini pancakes warm in bowls accompanied by your choice of milk, maple syrup, honey, or fresh berries for added flavor and texture.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
Use a nonstick skillet and butter for best results and easy flipping.
Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning while ensuring the centers cook through.
These mini pancakes are great for serving children or as a fun brunch bite.
Optional toppings can be adjusted based on dietary preferences or availability.
