Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Cooking spray or additional melted butter for greasing the pan
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. It’s important not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. If using a regular pan, you may need to add a little cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Once the pan is hot, pour small amounts of batter onto the skillet to form mini pancakes. You can use a tablespoon or a cookie scoop for uniform-sized pancakes.
- Cook the mini pancakes until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges start to look set, usually about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip each pancake using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked mini pancakes to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batches.
- Repeat the process until you’ve used all the batter, adding more cooking spray or melted butter to the pan as needed.
- Serve the fluffy mini pancakes with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.
Enjoy your fluffy mini pancakes! They’re perfect for a delightful breakfast or brunch treat.
