Description
Whip up a batch of homemade mini pancakes using basic ingredients like flour, buttermilk, eggs, and butter. These fluffy delights are perfect for breakfast or brunch, customizable with your favorite toppings for a delightful morning treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs. Then, add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy; overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
- Preheat Your Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. A properly heated pan ensures evenly cooked pancakes.
- Grease the Pan: Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Pancakes: Drop a heaping tablespoon of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 1-2 minutes.
- Flip and Cook: Once bubbles form, flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side.
- Keep Warm: As you cook the pancakes, keep them warm in an oven set to a low temperature.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve your mini pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Notes
Tips for the Perfect Pancake
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Consistent Size: Use a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop to ensure your pancakes are uniformly sized.
- Flipping Technique: Wait until the edges look set and bubbles form before flipping for the best results.
