Ingredients

Before we dive into the step-by-step guide, let’s gather the simple ingredients you’ll need:

• All-purpose flour
• Granulated sugar
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• salt
• Buttermilk. For a non-dairy option, use vegan milk like almond milk mixed with one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.
• Large eggs
• Melted unsalted butter. Vegetable oil or vegan butter are both an option.
• Vanilla extract
• Cooking spray or additional butter for the pan

How to Make Mini Pancakes

To make these little pancakes, you can use any of your favorite homemade pancakes recipe, like this Fluffy Pancakes recipe, a store-bought pancake mix, or even this Chocolate Waffles batter.

1. Start by combining the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
2. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine.
3. Using a small ladle or a squeeze bottle, pour small amounts of batter onto the hot griddle over medium heat. The key to making them mini is to keep the pancakes small, so don’t go overboard with the batter.
4. When bubbles start forming on the surface and the edges look set, it’s time to flip the pancakes. Cook them for another minute or so until they’re golden brown on both sides.

Tips

To make your mini pancake-making experience even smoother, here are some helpful tips:

• Make sure all of the ingredients are at room temperature. Cold ingredients will yield flat and dense pancakes.
• Use a paper towel to wipe the skillet from excess butter, so it will be easy to flip.
• For uniform pancakes use a squeeze bottle with a narrow tip to pour the pancake batter, to help you control the batter flow and create perfectly round pancakes.
• Maintain the heat: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Keep the griddle or skillet at a consistent temperature to ensure even cooking.
• Get creative: Mini pancakes are a canvas for creativity. Try different toppings, like fresh fruit, nuts, honey, or even savory options like bacon and cheese.

Storing

If you happen to have any leftover pancakes, don’t worry; they’re easy to store. Simply place them in an airtight container or a ziplock bag and store them in the fridge for a few days. You can also freeze them for longer-term storage. When you’re ready to enjoy them, pop them in the toaster or microwave to reheat.
