Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Cooking and Serving
- Butter or oil (for cooking)
- Toppings: maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate chips (as desired)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, leaving some lumps to avoid overmixing.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Using a small ladle or squeeze bottle, drop small circles of batter about 1-2 inches in diameter onto the cooking surface. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then carefully flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through. Continue making mini pancakes until all the batter is used.
- Serve: Transfer the mini pancakes into a bowl. Add your preferred toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or chocolate chips for extra flavor and enjoyment. Serve immediately and enjoy your playful Pancake Cereal breakfast.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Use a squeeze bottle or piping bag to make evenly sized mini pancakes easily.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while cooking the remaining batter.
- Feel free to customize toppings based on preference or dietary needs.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to achieve a pourable consistency.
