Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Mix. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir until just combined (a few lumps are totally fine).
  2. Fill. Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or a zip-lock bag with one corner snipped off. This gives you control over those tiny drops.
  3. Pipe. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Squeeze tiny dots of batter, about the size of a coin, onto the surface. Leave space between each one.
  4. Flip. Cook for about 1 minute until you see bubbles on top and the edges look set. Flip each mini pancake carefully with a small spatula or chopstick, about 30 seconds more until golden.
  5. Serve. Scoop the mini pancakes into a bowl. Top with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, sprinkles, or whatever your kids love most.

Notes

A squeeze bottle works way better than a spoon for getting consistent tiny circles. Keep the griddle at medium heat. Too hot and they burn before cooking through. Let kids help squeeze the batter onto the griddle. They love making the tiny dots.
