Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the griddle: Heat your griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined evenly.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Crack in the egg, pour in the milk, and add the melted butter. Whisk everything together until a smooth batter forms with no lumps.
  4. Prepare batter for piping: Transfer the pancake batter into a plastic squeeze bottle or piping bag for precise control while cooking.
  5. Cook mini pancakes: Squeeze out very small amounts of batter onto the hot griddle, about the size of a dime, creating many mini pancakes in batches.
  6. Flip and cook: Cook the mini pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip them carefully and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown on the other side.
  7. Repeat process: Continue cooking the remaining batter in the same manner until all mini pancakes are done.
  8. Serve immediately: Remove the pancake cereal from the griddle and serve immediately with your favorite toppings like butter, syrup, or fresh fruit for an enjoyable breakfast treat.

Notes

  • Using a squeeze bottle or piping bag helps achieve uniform tiny pancakes easily.
  • Adjust griddle temperature if pancakes brown too quickly or remain undercooked.
  • Serve freshly made for best texture and taste as the mini pancakes can become soggy if left too long.
  • You can customize flavors by adding cinnamon, vanilla extract, or mix-ins like chocolate chips.
  • For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend of similar consistency.
