Mini Pancake Cereal Breakfast (Print)

Crispy, bite-sized pancakes paired with milk, syrup, or fruit for a playful breakfast cereal experience.

# Components:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 3/4 cup whole milk
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for cooking
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ To Serve

10 - Maple syrup, honey, or milk
11 - Fresh berries or sliced banana, optional

# Method:

01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the whole milk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until incorporated; do not overmix, allowing a few lumps to remain.
04 - Transfer the batter into a piping bag, squeeze bottle, or use a teaspoon for portioning.
05 - Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease the surface with butter.
06 - Pipe or drop small portions of batter, approximately 1/2-inch in diameter, onto the skillet, spacing them slightly apart.
07 - Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until bubbles appear and edges are set; flip each with a spatula or chopstick and continue cooking for 1 minute until golden.
08 - Continue with remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed. Serve mini pancakes warm in a bowl, pour over milk for a cereal-style dish, or drizzle with syrup and top with fruit.
