Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 large egg Beaten
  • ¾ cup milk Can use milk alternatives
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Cooking Needs
  • Nonstick spray or oil for the pan To prevent sticking

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate small bowl, beat the egg.
  3. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the egg and whisk until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
  5. Stir gently until just combined; the batter should still be a little lumpy.
Cooking
  1. Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
  2. Lightly grease the surface with nonstick spray or a small amount of oil.
  3. Scoop about 1 teaspoon of batter onto the skillet for each mini pancake.
  4. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until bubbles form and the edges look set.
  5. Flip and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown.
  6. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and let them cool before skewering.
  7. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Serving
  1. Thread the mini pancakes onto wooden or metal skewers.
  2. Alternate layers with pieces of fresh fruits like strawberries, bananas, or blueberries.
  3. Drizzle with warm maple syrup or chocolate sauce for extra flavor.

Notes

Ensure your skillet is not too hot to prevent burning the pancakes. Avoid over-mixing the batter; lumps are okay. Experiment with flavored extracts or mix-ins for extra flavor.
