Fluffy mini pancakes crisped to perfection for a playful breakfast; delicious warm with milk, syrup, or fresh fruit.

# What you'll need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 3/4 cup whole milk
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus more for cooking)
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ To Serve

10 - Maple syrup, honey, or milk
11 - Fresh berries or sliced banana (optional)

# Method:

01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk whole milk, large egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
03 - Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to ensure a light texture—some lumps are acceptable.
04 - Transfer pancake batter to a piping bag, squeeze bottle, or use a teaspoon for precise portioning.
05 - Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
06 - Dispense small portions of batter, approximately 1/2 inch in diameter, onto the heated surface, spacing each dot slightly apart.
07 - Cook pancakes for 1–2 minutes until bubbles appear and edges are set; then flip using a spatula or chopstick and cook for an additional minute until golden brown.
08 - Repeat the cooking process with remaining batter, greasing the pan as necessary between batches.
09 - Arrange mini pancakes in a bowl and serve warm. Enjoy with milk for a cereal-style experience or drizzle with syrup and garnish with fruit as desired.
