A fun twist on classic pancakes featuring tiny, fluffy mini pancakes perfect for cozy mornings and playful breakfasts. Quick and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk, whole or 2%
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh berries, powdered sugar, whipped cream

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula just until combined; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Transfer batter to a squeeze bottle or piping bag (or use a teaspoon) to make uniform tiny circles about 1 inch in diameter.
  6. Pipe or spoon small rounds onto the heated skillet, leaving space between each. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  7. Flip each mini pancake gently with a thin spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil or a kitchen towel to keep warm while finishing the batch.
  9. Serve warm with maple syrup, milk, or desired toppings.

Notes

Keep heat low to medium-low to cook pancakes evenly without burning. Do not overmix batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use a squeeze bottle for uniform mini pancakes. Keep cooked pancakes warm covered with foil or towel. Batter can be refrigerated up to 24 hours. Reheat leftovers in toaster oven or skillet for best texture.
