Mini pancakes are delightful, bite-sized treats perfect for breakfast or a fun snack.

To make them, you need a few simple ingredients and a bit of cooking magic.

Choosing Your Batter Base

Your pancake adventure begins with a batter base.

You have options:

  • All-purpose flour: A common choice that provides a smooth texture.
  • Baking powder: Helps the pancakes rise and become fluffy.
  • Sugar: Adds a touch of sweetness to your pancakes.
  • Egg: Gives structure and richness to the batter.
  • Milk: Keeps the batter moist and light. If you’re out of buttermilk, mix a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar with regular milk as a substitute.

Choose wisely to set the stage for perfect mini pancakes.

Mixing in the Magic: Ingredients & Substitutions

Incorporate the core ingredients for your mini pancakes:

  • Wet ingredients: In a bowl, combine your egg, milk, and melted butter. They will provide moisture and richness.

  • Dry ingredients: Mix all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in another bowl. Together, these are your pancake staples.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.

Stir gently until just combined.

Don’t worry about small lumps.

Over-mixing can make your pancakes dense.

If you’re adventurous, you can swap milk with almond or oat milk for a twist in flavor.

This flexible recipe lets you explore different variations while keeping the pancakes easy and fluffy.
