Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk (any kind)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter (or vegetable oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor
Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions:
Prepare the Batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add a bit more milk.
Heat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil. For mini pancake bites, use a spoon or an ice cream scoop to drop small amounts of batter onto the skillet.
Cook the Pancake Bites:
Cook each pancake bite for about 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
Serve and Enjoy:
Transfer the pancake bites to a plate. Serve them warm with syrup, fruit, powdered sugar, or your favorite topping. Enjoy!
Description:
Fluffy Golden Pancake Bites are tiny, soft, and perfectly golden mini pancakes that are a great alternative to regular pancakes. Their texture is light and fluffy, making them irresistible for breakfast, brunch, or even as a snack. They can be dipped in syrup, topped with fresh fruits, whipped cream, or any topping of your choice. They are fun to eat and make a perfect treat for both kids and adults alike.
Tips:
Consistency of Batter: The batter should be thick enough to form little rounds, but if it’s too thick, you can thin it out with a little extra milk.
Make Ahead: If you’re preparing these for a group, you can make the pancake bites ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. Reheat them in the microwave or a warm oven before serving.
Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! You can add whipped cream, chocolate chips, fresh berries, or even a drizzle of honey.
Even Cooking: For more even cooking, use a non-stick griddle or a mini pancake maker. If you’re using a skillet, ensure the heat is not too high to avoid burning the pancakes before they cook through.
Add-ins: Mix in some chocolate chips, blueberries, or small banana slices to make these pancake bites even more flavorful.
Corrections:
If your pancake bites turn out too dense, it may be due to overmixing the batter or adding too much flour. Try to mix just until the ingredients are combined. If the pancakes are too flat, ensure you’re using a fresh batch of baking powder, as expired baking powder can cause them to lack fluffiness. Also, check the heat of the pan to ensure it’s not too hot, which could result in uneven cooking.
This recipe should yield soft, golden, and fluffy pancake bites that everyone will enjoy!
