Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour (150 g)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup white granulated sugar (55 g)
1/4 teaspoon salt (just a small pinch)
1 small egg
215 ml milk of choice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
butter for frying
TOPPING IDEAS
Fresh berries, honey, maple syrup, melted chocolate or chocolate chips.
Instructions
Whisk the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Set it aside.
Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Don’t overmix—a few lumps are okay!
Preheat your pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small pat of butter.
Cook the mini pancakes: Use a teaspoon or a squeeze bottle to drop tiny amounts of batter onto the skillet. Each mini pancake should be about the size of a coin. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, this can take about 20-30 seconds, then flip and cook for another 20-30 seconds until golden.

Serve and top: Transfer your mini pancakes to a plate and get creative with toppings! Arrange them into pancake skewers with fresh strawberries, blueberries, or banana slices, drizzle with honey or maple syrup, a piece of chocolate, or scatter chocolate chips for a sweet treat.

Notes
Use a squeeze bottle: For uniform tiny pancakes, transfer the batter into a squeeze bottle for easy pouring or use a small milk jug.
Cooking Temperature: The stove temperature should be just right. Too hot and the pancakes will burn, too cold and the batter will spread into crepes.
Don’t overcrowd the pan: Leave space between the pancakes so you can flip them easily.
Butter For Frying: Add a small amount of butter to the pan before cooking each batch to ensure a golden, crispy exterior and prevent sticking.
Keep them warm: If making a large batch, keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven at 200°F (93°C) while finishing the rest.
