Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- Fresh fruit for topping
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature. Set out a non-stick skillet or griddle and prepare a mixing bowl.
- In the mixing bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, milk, and egg until smooth. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray if needed.
- Using a small spoon or squeeze bottle, drop small dollops of batter (about 1-2 tablespoons) onto the heated surface. This will create mini pancakes.
- Cook the mini pancakes for approximately 1-2 minutes, or until tiny bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry.
- Carefully flip each mini pancake using a thin spatula and cook the other side for an additional 30-45 seconds until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked mini pancakes to a warm plate. Repeat the process with remaining batter, adjusting heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Wash and slice fresh fruits like strawberries, bananas, blueberries, or raspberries for topping.
- Arrange mini pancakes on serving plates, garnish with fresh fruit slices, and drizzle with warm maple syrup.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful mini pancakes!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Keep your skillet at a consistent medium-low heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Batter Consistency is Key: Mix until just combined - a few small lumps are perfectly fine and will help create fluffy pancakes.
- Use the Right Tools: A small spoon, squeeze bottle, or even a condiment bottle can help you create uniform mini pancakes.
- Non-Stick Surface is Essential: Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned griddle to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping.
- Don't Crowd the Pan: Leave enough space between mini pancakes for easy flipping and even cooking.
- Fruit Freshness: Choose ripe, seasonal fruits for the most vibrant and delicious toppings.
- Serve Immediately: Mini pancakes are best enjoyed hot and fresh off the griddle for maximum flavor and texture.
