# 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 additional for cooking)
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ To Serve
10 - Maple syrup, honey, or milk
11 - Fresh berries or sliced banana (optional)
# Cooking Steps:
01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the whole milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
03 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, leaving a few small lumps. Do not overmix.
04 - Spoon the batter into a piping bag or squeeze bottle for precise portioning, or use a teaspoon if preferred.
05 - Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with melted butter.
06 - Pipe or drop small dots of batter, about 1/2 inch in diameter, onto the hot skillet. Leave space between each pancake.
07 - Cook the mini pancakes for 1–2 minutes until bubbles appear and the edges set. Flip using a spatula or chopstick, then cook for an additional 1 minute until golden brown.
08 - Continue with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.
09 - Transfer the warm mini pancakes to a bowl. Serve with milk for a cereal-style breakfast, or drizzle with syrup and top with fresh fruit as desired.
