Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cup
  • Measuirng spoons
  • whisk
  • Large Skillet or Griddle
  • spatula

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ⅓ cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 Tablespoons melted butter

Mix-Ins (optional, choose one)

  • 1 cup fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries)
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, pecans)
  • ½ cup sprinkles
  • 1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder + 1 extra tablespoon sugar

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together.
    2 cups flour, 2 Tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt
  • Add the whole milk, vanilla, eggs, and melted butter to the bowl and whisk it into a thick batter.
    1 ⅓ cups whole milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 eggs, 3 Tablespoons melted butter
  • Stir in any mix-ins you may be using.
    1 cup fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries), 1 cup mini chocolate chips, 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, pecans), ½ cup sprinkles, 1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder + 1 extra tablespoon sugar
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Grease the hot skillet with butter, a little oil or baking spray.
  • Scoop the batter into the pan, using a tablespoon to make tablespoon-sized mini pancakes. You should be able to fit several pancakes in the skillet at once but make sure to leave about 1 inch between each mini pancake as the batter does spread.
  • Cook the pancakes until they are bubbling on top, about 1-2 minutes. Flip the pancakes one at a time using a spatula. Cook for one more minute.
  • Cook all of the batter in batches, greasing the pan after each batch. Keep the mini pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven while you cook them all.
  • Serve the pancakes while hot!

Notes

  • If adding a mix-in, you may want to scoop the mini pancakes into 2 tablespoon-sized portions. Making them a little bit bigger will get more delicious mix in into the pancakes! 
  • Do not add more than 1 cup of extra mix-ins to the pancakes. If you want to add multiple ingredients, make sure the total is still just one cup. For example, ½ cup raspberries and ½ cup chocolate chips.
  • Nutrition information does not include mix-ins.
