Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup (180 milliliters) buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) butter, melted

Sweeteners and Leavening Agents:

  • 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 grams) baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 grams) baking soda

Seasoning:

  • ½ teaspoon (3 grams) salt

Instructions

  1. Gather all necessary ingredients and equipment, including a non-stick griddle or skillet, whisking bowl, and measuring tools.
  2. Heat the cooking surface to a medium temperature, ensuring an even, consistent warmth for uniform pancake cooking.
  3. Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, creating a uniform powder mixture that will provide the base for the pancakes.
  4. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and carefully introduce the wet components: egg, buttermilk, and melted butter.
  5. Gently whisk the ingredients together, working to eliminate any lumps and achieve a smooth, silky batter with a consistent texture.
  6. Use a batter dispenser or spoon to carefully drop small, uniform dollops of batter onto the preheated cooking surface, maintaining consistent size for each mini pancake.
  7. Watch for small bubbles to emerge across the surface of the pancakes, which signals the optimal moment to carefully flip each miniature disk.
  8. Cook the second side until it develops a light golden-brown color, indicating perfect doneness and a delicate, crisp exterior.
  9. Transfer the mini pancakes to a serving plate, arranging them in an appealing presentation for immediate enjoyment while still warm.

Notes

  • Precise Heat Control is Key: Maintain a steady 300°F (medium heat) for perfectly golden mini pancakes without burning.
  • Smooth Batter Matters: Whisk ingredients thoroughly to eliminate lumps, ensuring a silky, consistent texture in every bite.
  • Portion Perfectly: Use 1½-2 tablespoons of batter per pancake for uniform, bite-sized mini pancakes that cook evenly.
  • Bubble Indicator: Wait for bubbles to form on the surface before flipping, a reliable sign that the first side is cooked to perfection.
  • Serve Immediately: Enjoy these mini pancakes warm for the ultimate soft, fluffy texture and most delightful breakfast experience.
