Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This mixture ensures the pancake bites will be fluffy and well-risen.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined to add moisture and flavor.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just mixed; avoid overmixing to keep batter light and airy.
- Heat skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat to ensure even cooking of the mini pancakes.
- Cook pancake bites: Spoon small amounts of batter onto the skillet to form mini pancakes. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip carefully and cook until the other side is golden brown.
- Prepare cinnamon sugar: While the pancake bites cook, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl to create the coating.
- Coat pancake bites: When the pancake bites are warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated for a sweet finishing touch.
- Serve: Serve the cinnamon sugar mini pancake bites warm for the best taste and texture. Enjoy them as a delicious morning delight or snack!
Notes
- For best results, don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to prevent sticking and achieve even cooking.
- Adjust the cinnamon sugar coating ratio to suit your taste preference.
- Can be kept warm in a low oven if making large batches.
- These mini pancake bites can be served with maple syrup or fruit preserves for extra flavor.
