Easy Mini Pancakes Recipe FAQs
Yes, you can freeze mini pancakes. Let them cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for about an hour. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or airtight container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
To make fluffy mini pancakes, make sure your baking powder is fresh, and do not overmix the batter. Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to allow the baking powder to activate.
Yes, you can make mini pancakes without eggs. Substitute the egg with ¼ cup of unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana, or use a commercial egg replacer according to the package instructions.
How to Make Mini Pancakes from Scratch
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (room temperature)
1 large egg (room temperature)
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
STEP ONE: Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
STEP TWO: Heat the Pan
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or cooking spray.
STEP THREE: Cook the Pancakes
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter onto the skillet for each mini pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 1-2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
STEP FOUR: Serve
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as blueberries, strawberries, powdered sugar, and syrup.
Making mini pancakes from scratch is easy and allows you to customize the ingredients to your taste.
