Equipment

  • skillet
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter cooled
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • Additional butter for coating the pan
  • Maple syrup for topping
  • Fresh fruit Optional
  • Powdered sugar Optional

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
    1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt
  • In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, melted and cooled butter, and vanilla extract. Add the egg and whisk to thoroughly combine.
    1 ¼ cups buttermilk, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, 1 egg
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients. You'll mix the batter just until it's incorporated. Do not overmix.
  • Heat a griddle or a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat and melt a little butter to coat the pan. Once the skillet is hot, drop 1 tablespoonful of batter onto the pan at a time.
    Additional butter for coating the pan
  • Cook the pancakes for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form around the edges.
  • Then use a spatula to flip the pancakes over and cook for an additional 1 minute or until golden brown. Remove from the pan immediately.
  • Repeat the same steps with the rest of the pancake batter.
  • Serve these delicious mini pancakes with fruit, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a little maple syrup. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe makes approximately 30 2.5" pancakes
  • Make sure to space them out enough so they don’t stick to each other. You should be able to fit 5-7 small pancakes, depending on the size pan you use.
  • To keep the pancakes warm while you cook the others, transfer them to an oven-proof plate or to a sheet pan. Place them in a warm oven until they are all done.
