Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk (or substitute nut milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter (divided, melted and for cooking)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients and Mix: Pour in ¾ cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Using a whisk, stir the mixture until just combined—don’t over-mix; lumps in the batter are fine. Adjust the batter consistency by adding milk one tablespoon at a time if too thick.
- Prepare Skillet and Heat Butter: Place a skillet over medium-low heat and add 1–2 tablespoons of butter. Let it melt completely before adding batter.
- Cook Pancakes: Using a mini ice cream scoop or tablespoon, pour about 1 tablespoon of batter per pancake into the skillet, spacing them about an inch apart for even cooking and shape.
- Spread Butter Around Edges: For crispy edges, tilt and move the butter around the edges of each pancake so the perimeter is well-coated. Add more butter if your skillet is larger.
- Watch for Bubbles and Flip: When bubbles begin forming on the surface and edges turn lightly brown, carefully flip each pancake with a flat metal spatula, then add another tablespoon of butter to prevent sticking and drying.
- Cook Until Done: Cook the flipped pancakes for another minute or two until cooked through but not dry. The pancakes should be able to move freely in the pan when shaken, indicating enough butter is present.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the mini pancakes warm as-is or topped with syrup, fresh fruit, nut butter or your favorite accompaniments.
Notes
- Do not over-mix the batter; lumps are okay and help keep pancakes fluffy.
- Adjust batter thickness with milk to get perfect flipping and fluffiness.
- Butter the skillet well and keep it replenished to prevent sticking and promote crisp edges.
- Use a flat metal spatula for easier flipping of tiny pancakes.
- Cook on medium-low heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
- Mini pancakes cook faster than regular size, so watch closely.
