Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup milk (or buttermilk for extra fluff)
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon melted butter (plus more for cooking)

Directions

1️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2️⃣ Whisk the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter.

3️⃣ Combine Wet & Dry

Gently add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. A few lumps are fine—don’t overmix!

4️⃣ Prep for Pouring

Transfer the batter into a squeeze bottle or piping bag (you can also use a spoon, but a bottle gives you control).

5️⃣ Heat the Pan

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Grease lightly with butter.

6️⃣ Cook the Minis

Squeeze small dots of batter onto the pan, about nickel-sized. Cook for 30–45 seconds until bubbles form, then flip. Cook an additional 20–30 seconds until golden brown.

7️⃣ Repeat & Finish

Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

8️⃣ Serve with Style

Pile the mini pancakes in a bowl and serve with maple syrup, honey, fruit, or a splash of milk for the full cereal vibe!
